Who detailed the proposed National Youth Policy 2026 in a Rajya Sabha reply?

Explanation

The PIB release confirms that the proposed National Youth Policy 2026 was explained in Parliament by Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports. The question is asking for the person who gave the details, not for the policy’s theme or the ministry alone. The policy aligns youth development with Viksit Bharat 2047, builds on the National Youth Policy 2014, and moves towards a structured, outcome-oriented approach. The information was given by Dr Mansukh Mandaviya in a written reply to a Rajya Sabha question, which directly fixes option B as the answer.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Anurag Thakur is not named in the PIB release as the minister who gave this Rajya Sabha reply on the proposed National Youth Policy 2026.
• (C) Rajnath Singh is a distractor because the PIB release attributes the written Rajya Sabha reply to Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, not to him.
• (D) Nirmala Sitharaman is not supported by the PIB release, which identifies Dr Mansukh Mandaviya as the person who provided the information.

Concept

This tests current governance and social-sector policy tracking, especially the link between ministries, Parliament replies, and policy initiatives. RAS repeatedly asks such items because official PIB releases are a primary source for government schemes and policy updates.
