Consider the following statements about Rashtriya Raksha University, whose 5th convocation was attended by President Droupadi Murmu on 14 April 2026: 1. Rashtriya Raksha University is headquartered in Lavad, Gandhinagar (Gujarat). 2. It is an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Defence. 3. It trains cadres in policing, internal security and strategic studies. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct because the official Rashtriya Raksha University page gives its address as Lavad, Dehgam, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, and describes the university as an academic-research-training ecosystem for national security and police. The same page says it provides security and strategic education in contemporary and futuristic security and strategic studies, which matches the statement on training cadres in policing, internal security and strategic studies. Statement 2 is the trap: RRU is indeed an Institution of National Importance, but the official page identifies it with the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, not the Ministry of Defence. President Droupadi Murmu attended its 5th convocation on 14 April 2026.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) It includes statement 2, but RRU is under the Ministry of Home Affairs, not the Ministry of Defence.
• (B) It accepts statement 2 and leaves out statement 3, although the university's official description supports training and education in national security, police and strategic studies.
• (C) It includes the incorrect Ministry of Defence statement and omits the correct location at Lavad, Gandhinagar.

Concept

This tests governance institutions and their correct parent ministry, a recurring RAS pattern because similar-sounding security bodies are often confused between Home Affairs and Defence. It also checks whether candidates can separate a correct institutional status from an incorrect ministry tag.
