Q1. Which of the following is not a function of the State Human Rights Commission? Choose the most appropriate option.
A To undertake and promote research in the field of human rights.
B To discourage the efforts of non-governmental organisations working in the field of human rights. Correct
C To visit jails and study the living conditions of inmates.
D To spread human rights literacy among the people.
Explanation
A State Human Rights Commission is meant to protect and promote human rights. It may encourage research, visit jails to examine inmates' living conditions, and spread human rights literacy among citizens. It also works in a climate where civil society organisations can support awareness and protection of rights. Discouraging non-governmental organisations that work in human rights would run against this purpose, so that statement is not a function of the Commission. The other listed activities match its broad promotional and supervisory role.
