Which institution led the Telangana delegation that visited Assam under Yuva Sangam Phase VII?
- A.IIT Guwahati
- B.Central University of Karnataka
- C.University of Hyderabad
- D.Tezpur University
Correct answer
B. Central University of Karnataka
Explanation
The correct answer is the Central University of Karnataka, which led the Telangana delegation on this exchange. Option A, IIT Guwahati, is wrong because it was the host institution that welcomed the delegation on its arrival at Guwahati rather than the one leading it, and candidates often confuse the leading and the hosting institution. Option C, the University of Hyderabad, is a central university in Telangana and so looks a natural leader for a Telangana delegation, but it was not named for this role. Option D, Tezpur University, is a central university in Assam and belongs to the receiving side of the exchange. The programme is built on pairs of states, with institutions on both sides taking charge of the visiting group.

Practice Questions
Yuva Sangam is organised under which initiative?
- A.Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat
- B.Fit India Movement
- C.Unnat Bharat Abhiyan
- D.Study in India
Show answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, the initiative under which the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education runs Yuva Sangam to strengthen cultural and emotional bonds among young Indians. Option B, the Fit India Movement, belongs to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and promotes physical fitness rather than inter-state cultural exchange. Option C, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, links higher educational institutions with villages for rural development work, so it is close in its use of institutions but different in purpose. Option D, Study in India, is a programme to attract foreign students to Indian institutions, which has nothing to do with exchanges between Indian states. Yuva Sangam works through paired states and their higher education institutions.
Who is the Governor of Assam, whom the Yuva Sangam delegation from Telangana met?
- A.Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya
- B.Shri Gulab Chand Kataria
- C.Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan
- D.Dr. Hari Babu Kambhampati
Show answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya, the Governor of Assam, with whom the visiting delegates interacted during their stay. The meeting gave them an account of the state's heritage, its traditions and their cultural significance, and was presented as deepening their understanding of India's diversity. Options B, C and D name other holders of high constitutional office whose names are familiar from general knowledge papers, which makes them plausible distractors in a question of this kind, but none of them is the Governor of Assam who received this delegation. Candidates preparing for state and central examinations should keep a current list of Governors, since questions pair a Governor with a state and with an event such as this exchange visit.
The Yuva Sanwad Mela was organised by MY Bharat and the National Service Scheme under which ministry?
- A.Ministry of Education
- B.Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
- C.Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports
- D.Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment
Show answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Both MY Bharat and the National Service Scheme function under this ministry, and the Yuva Sanwad Mela of 9 October 2026 was organised through them across 15 NSS Regional Directorates. Option A, the Ministry of Education, is a reasonable guess because the activities were held in educational institutions, but the NSS is administered by the youth affairs ministry. Option B is tempting because the theme of the month concerned health and the subject was substance abuse, yet the campaign is a youth-led awareness drive rather than a health department programme. Option D handles social welfare subjects including de-addiction work in other schemes, but not this campaign. Remember the chain for the exam: Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, then MY Bharat and NSS, then the Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan and its 100-Week Sankalp Abhiyan.
Which theme was followed in Month 1 of the 100-Week Sankalp Abhiyan?
- A.‘Fit Youth, Addiction-Free Youth’
- B.‘My Health, My Pride’
- C.‘Youth for Viksit Bharat’
- D.‘Swachh Yuva, Swasth Bharat’
Show answer
Explanation
The correct answer is ‘My Health, My Pride’. The first month of the 100-Week Sankalp Abhiyan ran under this theme and concluded with the nationwide Yuva Sanwad Mela on 9 October 2026, organised by MY Bharat and the National Service Scheme under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Option A is the theme of Month 2, which will focus on physical fitness and sports and encourage young people to treat regular activity as part of preventing substance abuse; mixing up the two months is the commonest mistake in questions of this kind, so the order matters. Options C and D are plausible-sounding slogans but neither has been used for these months of the campaign. The month’s work was built on three components: youth dialogue, awareness stalls and cultural performances such as street plays and musical presentations.
What was the total outreach of the nationwide Yuva Sanwad Mela held on 9 October 2026?
- A.93,662 participants
- B.1,06,855 participants
- C.1,36,086 participants
- D.2,00,000 participants
Show answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 1,06,855 participants. This was the consolidated outreach of the Yuva Sanwad Mela, conducted across 200 designated institutions and the villages they have adopted. Option A, 93,662, is the number of youth participants alone; the remaining 13,193 were other citizens reached through activities in villages and slum communities, and adding the two gives the consolidated figure. That makes option A the most attractive wrong answer for anyone who remembers only the youth count. Option C mixes the digits of a different figure in the same account, the 36,086 youth engaged in dialogue sessions, and option D is simply a round number that matches nothing. Candidates should also note the split by gender within the youth count: 48,269 female participants and 45,618 male participants, which means young women outnumbered young men in this drive.
