Who delivered the valedictory address at the fifth ITEC capacity-building programme on human rights?
- A.The Union Home Minister
- B.Justice V. Ramasubramanian, Chairperson, NHRC India
- C.The Chief Justice of India
- D.The Union Minister of External Affairs
Correct answer
Explanation
The answer is Justice V. Ramasubramanian, who chairs the National Human Rights Commission of India and closed the programme. His theme was cooperation between human rights institutions across the Global South, and his argument was that these bodies improve by sharing experience openly, naming the problems they run into and treating their own mistakes as something to learn from.
The other options are drawn from offices that sound plausible for a human rights event but had no role here. The Ministry of External Affairs did partner on the programme, which makes option D the strongest distractor, but the valedictory address came from the Commission's own Chairperson. Present at the session were Joint Secretaries Shri Samir Kumar and Smt. Saidingpuii Chhakchhuak. Remember the Chairperson's name; it is the single most reusable fact here.
