The Chairman of NABARD is

Concept

For a time-sensitive office-holder question, identify the relevant date and verify the office against an official appointment or board record. The answer must match both the institution and the date.

Application

1. This question was asked in the BPSC TRE 2.0 PRT General Studies paper held on 14 December 2023.

2. NABARD’s official corporate-governance record lists Shaji K. V. as Chairman, with an initial appointment date of 7 December 2022.

3. Therefore, on the examination date, Shaji K. V. was the named Chairman of NABARD.

Contrast

• K. Sitaraman is not the chairman name recorded in the relevant NABARD board entry.

• Bhavesh Gupta is associated with fintech leadership roles, not the NABARD chairmanship recorded for that date.

• “More than one of the above” does not fit because the official record identifies one chairman among the named individuals.

• “None of the above” does not fit because one named individual is present in the official record.

Result

Thus, the answer is Shaji K. V.
