What was theme of the 19 th “National Youth Festival” held in January,2015?

The correct answer is B) Youth for clean, green and Progressive India. The National Youth Festival is organised every year by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports as a platform for young people to showcase talent, exchange ideas and engage with national priorities. Its theme is set around a current national mission, and for the 19th edition held in January 2015 that theme was cleanliness, environmental protection and development, which tied in with the Swachh Bharat Mission launched in October 2014.

• A pairs skilling with youth, which was a government focus, but it was not the festival's theme.
• C only reverses the words of a slogan. The question asks for the exact theme, so reordering phrases does not help.
• D is a unity-based slogan with no link to the festival's youth-centred theme.

Core concept: government youth programmes are usually framed around a national campaign, so the theme reflects the policy agenda of that year. This links to the Mains theme of youth engagement in nation-building and to the Swachh Bharat and environment topics in GS-III.

Trap: candidates pick A because Skill India was a major 2015 initiative. Check the exact wording of the theme and not the government scheme that sounds similar.
