Which report, prepared in association with Boston Consulting Group, was released on World Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day 2026?

The correct answer is Atal Akshay Urja Bhawan, the New Delhi building that houses the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and the venue where the ministry marked World Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day. More than a hundred officials, industry representatives, researchers and experts attended two panel discussions there, one on standards for hydrogen and one on safety at hydrogen facilities, and a gap assessment of the country's hydrogen standards was released. Option A is wrong because Bharat Mandapam is the convention centre at Pragati Maidan and had no part in this event. Option C is wrong because Vigyan Bhawan, though a common venue for scientific conferences in the capital, was not used. Option D is wrong because Yashobhoomi, the convention centre at Dwarka, hosted other events and not this one. The valedictory session was attended by the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India.

The correct answer is Rs 19,744 crore. The National Green Hydrogen Mission was approved in January 2023 with this outlay, and the money is spread across production of the gas, the manufacture of equipment, pilot projects, research and training. The mission's purpose is to make India a global hub for producing, using and exporting green hydrogen and the products derived from it, and it carries a production target of 5 million metric tonnes a year by 2030. Options A, B and D are wrong because none of those amounts was sanctioned for the mission; they are near neighbours of the real figure and are easy to confuse with it in a question paper. The World Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day event sat within this mission, and its Mission Director, Abhay Bakre, gave the opening remarks at the programme in New Delhi.

The correct answer is the Dak Sewa App. The Department of Posts named two digital platforms, the Dak Sewa App and the Dak Mitra App, as the means by which postal services are being made simpler to reach and to use. Alongside these, the Department pointed to N-Gen Post Offices and Jan Sewa Connect Post Offices as modern and inclusive service spaces designed around changing citizen expectations. Options B, C and D are invented names and do not belong to the set of initiatives announced, so each of them is wrong. For the examination, group the four names together - two physical formats of post office and two mobile applications - since questions often ask which of a list is genuine.

The correct answer is 9 October. World Post Day is observed on this date and it opens National Postal Week, which the Department of Posts is celebrating from 9 to 15 October 2026. Option C, 12 October, is the date of Fun with Philately Day, one of the themed days inside the same week, so it is a tempting but wrong choice. Option D, 15 October, marks Technology and Innovation Day, with which the week concludes, and is therefore the closing date rather than the opening one. Option A, 1 October, is not part of the Postal Week calendar at all. Candidates should hold the whole span in mind - the week begins on 9 October with World Post Day and ends on 15 October.

The correct answer is One Postal Network, Infinite Possibilities. The theme announced for World Post Day this year is 'World Post Day: One Postal Network, Infinite Possibilities', and it frames the week-long observance by the Department of Posts. Options B, C and D are plausible-sounding but invented lines, and none of them is the theme adopted for this observance, so each is wrong. Themes are among the most frequently asked details about important days, so it is worth noting the exact wording rather than a rough sense of it. Pair the theme with the dates of the week, from 9 to 15 October 2026, and with the five themed days that the Department has set out for the observance.
