Who launched the revamped Gallantry Awards portal in New Delhi?
- A.The Defence Secretary
- B.Raksha Rajya Mantri Sanjay Seth
- C.Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh
- D.The Chief of Defence Staff
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Raksha Rajya Mantri Sanjay Seth. The Minister of State for Defence launched the rebuilt Gallantry Awards portal in New Delhi, calling the website a digital tribute to the courage and the supreme sacrifice of the gallantry awardees. Option A is wrong because Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh was present at the function as a senior official of the ministry, but the launch itself was performed by the Minister of State, not by the civil servant heading the department. Option C is wrong: the Raksha Mantri did not launch this portal, and naming the senior minister is the common trap in such questions. Option D is wrong because the Chief of Defence Staff heads military affairs and had no role stated in this launch. For the examination, pair the portal with the Minister of State for Defence, the Ministry of Defence, New Delhi and the date 12 November 2026, and remember the address gallantryawards.gov.in.
