RAS question
Good Governance Day on December 25 is observed on the birth anniversary of which former PM?
Correct answer: (D) Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Good Governance Day is observed on December 25 to mark the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Explanation
Good Governance Day is tied specifically to Atal Bihari Vajpayee because December 25 marks the birth anniversary of the former Prime Minister. The PIB release on Good Governance Day states this link directly and frames the observance around the values associated with good governance: accountability, transparency, and citizen-centric public service. In RAS Current Affairs, the important connection is between the date, the public figure, and the governance theme. Atal Bihari Vajpayee is the public figure officially associated with Good Governance Day on December 25.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Rajiv Gandhi is a former Prime Minister, but Good Governance Day on December 25 is officially linked to Atal Bihari Vajpayee, not to Rajiv Gandhi.
- (B) Jawaharlal Nehru is a former Prime Minister, but Good Governance Day on December 25 is tied to Atal Bihari Vajpayee's birth anniversary.
- (C) P.V. Narasimha Rao is a former Prime Minister, but the December 25 Good Governance Day commemoration is officially associated with Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Concept
RAS Current Affairs covers governance-related national observances and the public figures they commemorate. Good Governance Day connects a fixed date, a political personality, and administrative values like accountability and citizen-centric service.
