RAS question
The 9th edition of India Mobile Congress 2025, Asia's largest telecom and technology event, was held at which venue?
Correct answer: (B) Yashobhoomi, New Delhi.
The 9th edition of India Mobile Congress 2025 was held at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi.
Explanation
India Mobile Congress 2025 is tied to Yashobhoomi, New Delhi because the Press Information Bureau release says Prime Minister Narendra Modi was to inaugurate the 9th edition of IMC 2025 there on 8 October 2025. The same official release describes IMC 2025 as Asia's largest telecom, media and technology event, to be held from 8 to 11 October under the theme "Innovate to Transform". This identifies Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, not a generic Delhi exhibition venue. Yashobhoomi refers to the India International Convention and Expo Centre at Dwarka, New Delhi. The wider current-affairs context is that India is now the world's second-largest telecom and 5G market.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Pragati Maidan is wrong because the official Press Information Bureau release identifies Yashobhoomi, New Delhi as the venue for IMC 2025.
- (C) Bharat Mandapam is wrong because the Press Information Bureau release does not place the 9th India Mobile Congress there; it names Yashobhoomi.
- (D) Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai is wrong because the event was officially stated to be at Yashobhoomi in New Delhi.
Concept
This tests event-based current affairs: matching a major telecom and technology event with its official venue, dates and theme. In RAS preparation, such items sit with national technology and digital-transformation developments because they are drawn directly from official releases.
