Who has been appointed Chairperson of the National Commission for Safai Karamcharis?
- A.Kaishab Bihari
- B.Bhagwat Prasad Makwana
- C.Manoj Kumar Balmiki
- D.Ravi Ramu Kalose
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bhagwat Prasad Makwana. The Department of Social Justice and Empowerment appointed him Chairperson of the Commission, and the release sets out his background: a Master's degree in Economics, long experience in social work for Scheduled Caste communities, earlier service as Vice-Chairman and then Chairman of the Safai Karamchari Commission under the Government of Uttarakhand, a term as an Independent Director on the Board of NHPC, and membership of the Central Monitoring Committee constituted under the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013. Every wrong option here names someone appointed in the same order but to a different post. Kaishab Bihari in option A is the Vice-Chairperson, while option C and option D name two of the three Members. That is precisely how such questions are framed, so learn the post beside each name rather than the list of names alone.
