RAS question
The India Mobile Congress 2025 (9th edition) was held at which venue in New Delhi?
Correct answer: (B) Yashobhoomi (IICC Dwarka).
The ninth edition of India Mobile Congress 2025 was held at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi.
Explanation
India Mobile Congress 2025 is linked to Yashobhoomi because the Press Information Bureau release says the ninth edition of IMC 2025 was organised from 8 to 11 October 2025 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi. This matches the question’s reference to the 9th edition and fixes the venue as Yashobhoomi, not any other New Delhi convention location. The event was jointly organised by the Department of Telecommunications and the Cellular Operators Association of India, carried the theme “Innovate to Transform”, and was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. These details reinforce that the question is asking for the specific official venue of IMC 2025, for which option B is correct.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Pragati Maidan is not supported because the Press Information Bureau release names Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, as the venue for the ninth edition of IMC 2025.
- (C) Vigyan Bhawan is wrong because IMC 2025 was held at Yashobhoomi, not at this alternative New Delhi venue.
- (D) Bharat Mandapam does not fit because Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, was the venue of IMC 2025.
Concept
This tests current-affairs recall of official national events, especially the venue, edition and organising context. RAS often uses such questions to check whether candidates can distinguish similar high-profile venues in New Delhi from the exact venue named in government releases.
