Who will deliver the valedictory address at the closing session of the CWP India Region Conference?
- A.The Lok Sabha Speaker
- B.The Chief Minister of Karnataka
- C.The Governor of Karnataka
- D.The Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Governor of Karnataka, Dr Sudha Yadav, who closes the conference on 18 November 2026 with the valedictory address. Option A is wrong because the Lok Sabha Speaker, Om Birla, inaugurates the conference on 17 November 2026 rather than closing it, and candidates must keep the two roles separate. Option B names the Chief Minister of Karnataka, D. K. Shivakumar, who delivers the keynote address at the inaugural session and also speaks at the closing session, but not the valedictory address. Option D names the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Harivansh, who likewise addresses both sessions without delivering the valedictory address. Along with the Governor's address, the closing session has the Chairperson of the CWP India Region presenting the conference outcome, the Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly giving the welcome address and the Deputy Speaker proposing the vote of thanks.
