The National Programme launched on October 10, 2019 by the India Government to encourage talented children to enrich their skills is

The answer is C) DHRUV. It was launched on 10 October 2019 by the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, which is now the Ministry of Education. Its purpose is to identify and nurture gifted school children, mainly from the middle and senior secondary classes, and build a national talent pool across academic and other fields.

Why the others are wrong:

• A) LAKSHYA is not the name of this national talent programme. Do not confuse it with other schemes that carry similar aspirational names.
• B) PRATIBHA is a word that appears in several government initiatives, so aspirants often pick it by instinct. It is not the 2019 programme in this question.
• D) PARIVARTAN is not the talent-nurturing programme in this question.

Core concept: Government schemes for gifted children and talent identification. For Mains GS-II, this links to education policy, equity of opportunity, and how the state builds human capital beyond the standard curriculum.

Trap: Aspirants pick the option with the most familiar-sounding name. Learn the scheme name together with its launch year and ministry, not the name alone.
