Which Union Minister addressed the MY Bharat Youth Convention at Varanasi?

The correct answer is Swatantrata Bhavan, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, the venue of the convention organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports through Mera Yuva Bharat. The choice of venue matters because the same campus houses IIT (BHU), where the students felicitated for clearing the engineering entrance had won admission. Option A, Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, and option C, Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, are frequent venues for national conferences but not for this one. Option D, Indira Gandhi Pratishthan in Lucknow, is a large convention centre in the capital of Uttar Pradesh and is a plausible distractor, since a minister of that state took part, yet the convention was held in Varanasi and not in Lucknow.

The correct answer is the Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Abhiyan. The minister said substance abuse threatens young people's potential, the well-being of families and national progress, and asked young citizens to spread awareness, encourage positive choices and mobilise their communities towards a drug-free society. Option B, the Fit India Movement, is a separate campaign of the same ministry promoting physical fitness. Option C names a scheme of the sports side of the ministry for identifying and training young athletes, which is close in spirit but not the campaign described here. Option D, Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat, is the initiative under which cultural exchanges between paired states are organised, so it belongs to a different programme altogether. The campaign in the correct option is the one the minister tied directly to the convention.

The correct answer is IIT Madras; C-STROKE, a human ischaemic stroke atlas. The Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre stands at IIT Madras and is being dedicated to the nation during the Chennai visit. Along with it begins a global scientific mission to map more than 100 human brains into three-dimensional atlases at cellular resolution, covering the whole span of life from the foetal stage to old age. C-STROKE is described as the first atlas of its kind for human ischaemic stroke and carries over 1,000 annotated microscopic sections from a stroke-affected brain, which researchers across the world can use to identify new therapeutic targets. Options B, C and D name other well-known institutions and other kinds of atlases, none of which figures in this announcement. The pairing to remember is the brain centre with IIT Madras and the stroke atlas named C-STROKE.

The correct answer is the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The five stations named for inauguration in Tamil Nadu, at Palani, Vellore Cantonment, Ambasamudram, Paramakkudi and Namakkal, have been rebuilt under that scheme and are being opened as Amrit Stations, as part of railway works worth more than ₹750 crore that also include the Karaikal-Peralam line and three rail flyovers in and around Coimbatore. Option B, the Adarsh Station Scheme, is a different railway programme and is not the one named here. Option C, Setu Bharatam, deals with road bridges and level crossings on national highways rather than station buildings. Option D, Bharatmala Pariyojana, is a highway development programme and has nothing to do with station redevelopment. Candidates should link the words Amrit Station to this scheme and remember the five station names.

The correct answer is Phase II of Chennai Metro, with a double-decker structure of 3.7 km. The stretch from Poonamallee to Vadapalani is part of the second phase of the Chennai Metro Rail Project, it was built at a cost of about ₹4,900 crore, and its distinguishing feature is a double-decker structure running 3.7 km, along with advanced signalling meant to support driverless operations. The corridor is expected to cut daily travel time and improve the link between the fast-growing western suburbs of the city and the centre. Option A wrongly places the stretch in the first phase and invents an underground tunnel. Option C assigns it to a suburban rail system, which is not what the announcement describes. Option D moves it to a third phase and adds a floating station, a feature nowhere mentioned. Only option B matches both the phase and the structure.
