Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Concept

Government and armed-forces civic-action schemes for a region are best identified by their stated end goal. A 'capacity-building' or 'ignited minds' education initiative is defined by what it does for people — it builds human capital (training, coaching, schooling) so that beneficiaries can compete and progress. Read the project's name and sponsor together: an Army outreach named 'Ignited Minds' targets the mind/education of local youth, not a tactical military mission.

Application

The 'Ladakh Ignited Minds Project' was launched in 2021 by the Indian Army's Fire and Fury Corps (in partnership with HPCL and the NGO NIEDO). Its purpose:

  • Provide quality coaching and educational facilities to disadvantaged students of Leh and Kargil.

  • Prepare local youth for tough national entrance examinations such as JEE and NEET.

  • Open access to premier institutions, thereby improving their life and career prospects.

All three threads point to one goal: securing a better future for the youth of Ladakh through education — which is the correct objective.

Why the others do not fit

  • Promoting peace in the region describes a law-and-order or diplomatic aim, not an education project.

  • Combating insurgency is a counter-insurgency/operational task, unrelated to coaching students.

  • Guarding the Sino-Indian border is the Army's conventional defence role, not the purpose of an outreach named 'Ignited Minds'.
