- A.The Union Home Minister
- B.The Union Health Minister
- C.The Union Education Minister
- D.The Union Rural Development Minister
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Union Health Minister. J. P. Nadda, the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, administered the pledge to officers and officials of both the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers at a ceremony held at Kartavya Bhawan-1 in New Delhi. The other options name ministers who hold different portfolios and did not administer this particular pledge. The detail worth noting is that the same minister holds charge of health as well as chemicals and fertilizers, which is why officials of two ministries took the pledge together at one ceremony, with their secretaries present. Among those attending were the Secretary of the Department of Health and Family Welfare, the Secretary of the Department of Fertilizers, the Secretary of the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, the Secretary of Health Research who also heads the ICMR, the Director General of Health Services and the Chief Executive Officer of the National Health Authority.
