Which of the following partnered the Ministry of Education in conducting Viksit Bharat Buildathon 2025?
- A.Atal Innovation Mission of NITI Aayog and AICTE
- B.ISRO and CSIR
- C.DRDO and UGC
- D.NCERT and NIT Council
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Atal Innovation Mission of NITI Aayog and the All-India Council for Technical Education. The Buildathon was conducted by the Department of School Education and Literacy of the Union Ministry of Education along with these two partners, with the aim of pushing creative problem solving, entrepreneurship and scientific curiosity among school students. Option B names the space agency and the council of scientific laboratories, neither of which ran this competition. Option C names the defence research organisation and the higher education regulator, which again had no role here. Option D names the national council for school curriculum and a council for technical institutes; the curriculum body is not listed as a partner, and the technical education partner was the All-India Council for Technical Education. An aspirant should tie the Atal Innovation Mission to NITI Aayog firmly, because the mission is often wrongly placed under the education ministry in answer options.
