India and United Nations MCQ — 2 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The Agricola Medal is indeed the highest honour awarded by the FAO, conferred for outstanding contributions to global food security and sustainable agriculture, so statement 1 is correct. The medal was presented to PM Modi on 21 May 2026 at the FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy, by Director General Dr. Qu Dongyu, so statement 2 is also correct. Hence both statements are correct.

Explanation

The FAO is a specialised agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts to defeat hunger and improve nutrition and food security, so statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Agricola Medal in 2026 was not the first ever FAO award to an Indian; the FAO has recognised India and Indians on several earlier occasions, and the medal honours the Prime Minister for leadership in food security, not as a first-time recognition of India. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
