Important Days & Events MCQs - 2026-08-05

The 'Make in India' initiative, launched in 2014, aims to transform India into a global manufacturing hub. While not exclusively for handlooms, it encompasses and promotes sectors like handloom textiles as part of boosting domestic manufacturing and exports. Preparations for National Handloom Day often involve promoting such initiatives.

The first National Handloom Day was observed on August 7, 2015, by the Ministry of Textiles to commemorate the Swadeshi Movement, which was launched on August 7, 1905. Preparations for the 2026 event would build upon this legacy.

National Handloom Day is celebrated every year on August 7th to honor the handloom weaving community and to promote the handloom industry. The preparations for the 2026 National Handloom Day would be underway in the preceding months.

The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, which led to the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the state, is often referred to in conjunction with the constitutional changes made in 2019. While not a direct constitutional amendment act in the traditional sense of amending the text of the constitution, it was enacted under powers that effectively amended the constitutional application to J&K. The 105th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2021 is unrelated. The relevant legislative act was the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019. However, the question asks for a constitutional amendment act. The abrogation was enabled by presidential orders and parliamentary resolutions, not a single constitutional amendment act number that directly replaced Article 370. The closest legislative action that enabled this was the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019. Given the options, and the year 2019, the question might be flawed or referring to the general legislative context. However, the abrogation itself was based on Presidential Orders and parliamentary resolutions, not a specific amendment act number that replaced Article 370. The 105th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2021 is unrelated. The question is problematic as the abrogation was not done via a single numbered constitutional amendment act that replaced Article 370. It was done via Presidential Orders and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019. The second anniversary is in 2021. NEEDS_REVIEW
