Which ministry organised the conference Creative India: Collective Possibilities?

  1. A.Ministry of Tourism
  2. B.Ministry of Culture
  3. C.Ministry of Education
  4. D.Ministry of Information and Broadcasting

Correct answer

B. Ministry of Culture

Explanation

The correct answer is the Ministry of Culture. The conference on collaborative models for the creative economy was convened by that ministry at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, and the Union Culture Minister inaugurated it while the Culture Secretary and the Joint Secretary for the creative economy both addressed the gathering. Option A, the Ministry of Tourism, is a natural guess because heritage sites draw visitors, but it did not organise this event. Option C, the Ministry of Education, has no role here. Option D, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, handles films, broadcasting and publicity and is often confused with cultural programming, yet the conference was not its initiative. Note also that a dedicated Creative Economy Division has been created inside the Ministry of Culture to build exactly these partnerships.
