  1. Operation Sankalp
  2. Operation Maitri
  3. Operation Sadbhavana
  4. Operation Madad
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Operation Sadbhavana

Answer: C. Operation Sadbhavana is the Army operation addressing basic needs of local populations in remote areas. Operation Sadbhavana ('Goodwill') has been ongoing since 1998, mainly in Jammu and Kashmir and other remote/sensitive areas. The Indian Army conducts welfare activities such as running schools, healthcare camps, infrastructure projects, women's empowerment programs and youth outreach to win hearts and minds of local communities. Distractors fail by mission: (A) Operation Sankalp: maritime security in the Gulf region post-2019. (B) Operation Maitri: humanitarian/disaster relief mission in Nepal after the 2015 earthquake. (D) Operation Madad: relief and rescue operation during the 2018 Kerala floods. These are all distinct, time-specific operations rather than ongoing civic action.
