Which year did the Union Sports Minister name as India's target for hosting the Olympic Games?
- A.2030
- B.2032
- C.2036
- D.2040
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2036. Speaking at the send-off of the Asian Games contingent, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya said the target is that year, by which India hopes to host the Olympic Games and to be firmly established on the world stage, and he described a ten-year plan with more than thirty six thousand crore rupees allocated to improve sports infrastructure. Option A and option B are years that do not figure in his statement at all, though an aspirant may associate them with other Olympic editions. Option D is a decade that is simply not part of the plan he set out. Note how the figures in this story hang together: the money is for sports infrastructure, the plan runs for ten years, and the year named as the goal is the one in which India hopes to be the host nation.
