Who is the Secretary of the Ministry of Ayush quoted on the Yoga for Unity and Yoga 365 campaign?
- A.Prataprao Jadhav
- B.Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha
- C.Punya Salila Srivastava
- D.Rajiv Bahl
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha. As Secretary in the Ministry of Ayush he said that yoga offers a simple and accessible means of improving physical and mental well being while building a sense of connection among individuals and communities, and that the Yoga 365 initiative encourages practice through the year so that preventive healthcare becomes a part of everyday life. Option A, Prataprao Jadhav, is wrong because he is the Union Minister of State with Independent Charge for Ayush and Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, a political office and not the post of Secretary, though he too spoke on the occasion. Options C and D are wrong because neither name is that of the Secretary of the Ministry of Ayush, and only the minister and the secretary named above were quoted on the Yoga for Unity campaign. Separating the minister from the secretary of the same ministry is a common demand in objective papers, so the two names are worth learning together.
