Who is the Official Delegate of WorldSkills India quoted on the participation of women at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026?

  1. A.Manisha Sensarma
  2. B.Sampada Desai
  3. C.Smriti Nambiar
  4. D.Krishnanjali Sahoo

Correct answer

A. Manisha Sensarma

Explanation

The correct answer is Manisha Sensarma, who is the Official Delegate of WorldSkills India and also Senior Economic Adviser in the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. She described the participation of these young women as an encouraging shift in India's skilling landscape and made the point that skills have no gender. Options B, C and D name competitors rather than officials: Sampada Desai is competing in Chemical Laboratory Technology, Smriti Nambiar in Bakery, and Krishnanjali Sahoo in Patisserie and Confectionery. Distractors of this kind work well in an examination because all four names appear in the same announcement, so a candidate who has skimmed it will remember the names without remembering which of them holds the official post.
