- C.Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Khadse
- D.The President of the All India Tennis Association
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Raksha Khadse. She addressed the course at the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association tennis stadium and said that becoming a leading sporting nation depends on identifying talent early and giving women and girls qualified coaches, suitable infrastructure, regular competition and sustained support. Option A is wrong because the Cabinet minister did not address this course; the ministry’s role here was support for the initiative along with the Sports Authority of India. Option B is wrong because no official of that post was listed among those present. Option D is wrong because the president named at the event was Rohit Rajpal of the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association, the host body, and the association office-bearers present included Kawaljeet Singh as Director of Coaching, Sunder Iyer as Honorary Secretary and Dinesh Arora as Treasurer. The minister also stressed that opportunities for women must extend to sports science, administration and event management.
