  1. A.Dr. Mandeep Bhandari
  2. B.Shri T. K. Anil Kumar
  3. C.Shri Sanjay Kumar
  4. D.Shri Vineet Joshi

Correct answer

B. Shri T. K. Anil Kumar

Explanation

The correct answer is Shri T. K. Anil Kumar, who spoke at the summit as Secretary of the Department of School Education and Literacy and laid out its four priorities, calling for a seamless transition from school education into higher education, skilling and employment so that learners can make informed choices and live with dignity. Option A, Dr. Mandeep Bhandari, is the sharpest distractor because he was present at the same event, but in his capacity as Chairman of the Central Board of Secondary Education rather than as Secretary of the department. Options C and D are names associated with education administration and are included to test recall rather than reasoning. A candidate preparing for teaching and general awareness papers should keep the two designations apart: the departmental Secretary and the Chairman of the board are different offices.
