Which themed day of National Postal Week 2026 falls on 13 October 2026?

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.

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 Tamil Nadu and SIPCOT, which was named the public agency with the highest number of houses completed and in use under affordable rental housing complexes, at 18,720 beds. In the same category the private agency award went to SPR India Private Limited, at 11,154 beds. Options A, C and D pair other states with their industrial development corporations, which is a plausible shape for the answer but not the one recognised here. Tamil Nadu also took the award for the best shelter fund practice, so the state appears twice in the list. Among the other special recognitions, Gujarat won for the best town planning scheme procedure and for the most reforms achieved under PMAY-U 2.0, Chhattisgarh for mandatory land reservation for weaker sections in private colonies, and HDFC Bank as the best lending institution. Only option B is correct.

The correct answer is Adequate Housing for All. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs observed World Habitat Day on this theme, with the stated focus on strengthening the urban housing system through innovation, policy reform, technology and sustainable financing. Option A resembles the slogan of the housing mission itself, which works towards the goal of Housing for All, but it is not the theme of the day. Options C and D are the kind of phrases used for other urban and disaster related observances and have no connection with this one. On the same occasion the ministry gave away the PMAY-U Awards to the best performing states, union territories and urban local bodies, released publications of bodies such as HUDCO and the National Housing Bank, and launched a mobile application and revamped websites of the scheme. Only option B names the theme correctly.
