Which state’s athletes were praised for adding to the honour of the Tricolour while its farmers were credited with strengthening food security?
- A.Punjab
- B.Haryana
- C.Uttar Pradesh
- D.Gujarat
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Haryana. The foundation day message for Haryana said that the athletes of the state are enhancing the pride of the Tricolour while its farmers are strengthening the food security of the country, and it praised the people of the state for showing talent and determination through hard work in agriculture, sport, the defence services, industry, education and startups. Option A, Punjab, is a state often linked with both sport and agriculture, which makes it a tempting choice, but it was not the state addressed in this message. Option C, Uttar Pradesh, and option D, Gujarat, were likewise not among the three states greeted on this foundation day, the others being Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. Remember the specific pairing of athletes and farmers with Haryana, since distractors in such questions are usually states with a similar reputation.
