TOPIC PRACTICE
Up to 25 questions from this page. Select your focus, then start.
The categories of Padma Awards were changed in 1955. For exams remember 1954 institution and 1955 category change separately.
In 1955 the Bharat Ratna rules added provision for posthumous awards. For exams remember changes in award rules too.
Bharat Ratna and Padma Awards were suspended for some time in 1977. For exams keep suspension and resumption dates separate.
These civilian awards were resumed in 1980. For exams remember 1977 suspension and 1980 resumption.
The Param Vir Chakra is considered instituted on 26 January 1950. For exams remember it as the highest wartime gallantry award.
Maha Vir Chakra is a wartime gallantry award instituted on 26 January 1950. For exams remember the date of wartime gallantry awards together.
Vir Chakra is a gallantry award linked with 26 January 1950. For exams remember the date of Param Vir Chakra Maha Vir Chakra and Vir Chakra.
The Ashoka Chakra series is considered to have begun in 1952. For exams keep peacetime and wartime gallantry awards separate.
The direct answer is option C: 1967. The Ashoka Chakra is India’s highest peacetime military decoration. The award had classes, and in 1967 these classes were renamed Ashoka Chakra, Kirti Chakra and Shaurya Chakra. To solve the question, identify that it asks about the renaming of the classes, not the original creation of the decoration: renaming → 1967. Option A, 1952, is not the year of this renaming. Option B, 1954, is associated with an earlier stage in the award’s history, but it is not the requested renaming year. Option C, 1967, is correct. Option D, 1971, is unrelated to this change. Exam cue: the three names Ashoka Chakra, Kirti Chakra and Shaurya Chakra were adopted together in 1967.
The direct answer is B: 1985 CE. The Dronacharya Award was instituted in 1985 to honour outstanding sports coaches for their contribution to developing successful sportspersons. To solve the question, identify what the award recognises, recall its starting year, and match that year with the options. Option A, 1961, is not the starting year of the Dronacharya Award. Option B is correct because the award began in 1985. Option C, 1991, is a later year and does not match the award’s institution. Option D, 2002, is also later and is not the correct starting year. Do not confuse this award with the Arjuna Award, which honours sportspersons; Dronacharya honours coaches. Memory cue: Dronacharya was a teacher, so connect the award with coaches; year 1985.
The direct answer is option B, 1991 CE. The Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, now known as the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award, was instituted in 1991 as India’s highest sporting honour. It recognises outstanding performance by an Indian sportsperson. The date must be distinguished from the date of the first presentation, which is often discussed as 1992; the question asks when the award began or was instituted, for which 1991 is the expected answer. Option A, 1985, is wrong because that year is not the accepted institution year of the Khel Ratna. Option B, 1991, is correct. Option C, 2002, is wrong; by then the award had already existed for several years. Option D, 2009, is wrong because it is much later and cannot be the starting year. A useful exam cue is to read whether the question asks about institution or first award ceremony. Here the supplied wording and school-GK convention support 1991.
Khel Ratna was renamed after Major Dhyan Chand in 2021. For exams remember award renaming dates.
The Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Trophy is linked with 1956. For exams connect it with university sports performance.
The National Film Awards are India’s major national-level awards for recognising excellence in Indian cinema. They were instituted in 1954, making option A the correct choice. The awards acknowledge achievements in areas such as acting, direction, music, writing, and other forms of film work, though the categories and presentation arrangements can change over time. The important historical fact asked here is the year in which the award system began.
The other years do not match the beginning of the National Film Awards. Students should distinguish this date from later changes in award categories, ceremonies, or other film-related institutions. The question asks when the awards started, so the relevant fact is their establishment in 1954, not the year of a particular winning film or a later expansion. Therefore, option A follows directly from the established historical record.
The Sahitya Akademi Awards were first presented in 1955. For exams remember dates of literary awards.
The Moortidevi Award is considered linked with 1983. For exams remember years of awards linked with Bharatiya Jnanpith.
