When the Madhya Pradesh State Equestrian Academy was established ?
- (a)2017
- (b)2012
- (c)2009
- (d)2007
Correct — D, 2007. The Madhya Pradesh State Equestrian (horse-riding) Academy was established in 2007. It is one of the specialised state sports academies run by the Madhya Pradesh Department of Sports and Youth Welfare to train riders in the Olympic disciplines of equestrian sport. The commission's key marks 2007 as the year of establishment.
- (a)2017 — Far too late — the equestrian academy was already established a decade earlier, in 2007.
- (b)2012 — Not the founding year; the academy dates to 2007, not 2012.
- (c)2009 — A near-miss decoy — the academy was set up in 2007, not 2009.
Madhya Pradesh runs a cluster of state sports academies — for shooting, sailing, hockey, water sports, equestrian and more — under its Department of Sports and Youth Welfare to groom athletes for national and Olympic competition. The State Equestrian Academy, founded in 2007, trains riders in equestrian (horse-riding) events such as dressage, show jumping and eventing.
Year-of-establishment questions are pure recall — there is no way to reason the year. Anchor the equestrian academy firmly to 2007 and keep it distinct from MP's other, differently dated academies.
- Madhya Pradesh State Equestrian Academy — established 2007.
- Runs under the Madhya Pradesh Department of Sports and Youth Welfare.
- Equestrian sport covers dressage, show jumping and eventing — three Olympic disciplines.
- One of several MP state sports academies created to develop athletes for national and Olympic events.
- Guessing a rounder year like 2009 or 2012 instead of 2007
- Confusing the equestrian academy with MP's shooting or sailing academies
MPPSC asks the founding year of specific MP sports academies — these must be memorised rather than reasoned.
