Back to paper

Which Padma awardees and fields is/are correctly paired?

1. Gokul Chandra Das – Folk Music

2. Dinesh Saini – Artist

3. Farooq Ahmad Mir – Sports

4. Geeta Devi – Agriculture

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1 only

 

  • Gokul Chandra Das is a Padma Shri awardee for his work in folk percussion, specifically playing the dhak, a traditional drum. 

  • Dinesh Saini: No reliable record shows a Padma awardee named “Dinesh Saini” in the field of art, so this pairing is incorrect.

  • Farooq Ahmad Mir is not from sports — he is a Kani shawl artisan from Kashmir, awarded Padma Shri for art. 

  • Geeta Devi in agriculture is also incorrect; there’s no prominent Padma awardee by that exact name in the agriculture list.

So, only statement 1 (Gokul Chandra Das – Folk Music) is correctly paired.
