Madhya Pradesh Archery Academy established by the Department of Sports and Youth Welfare is situated in

Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — C, Jabalpur. The Madhya Pradesh State Archery Academy, run under the state Department of Sports and Youth Welfare, is located at Jabalpur. MP operates discipline-specific sports academies in different cities, and archery is the one based at Jabalpur.

Why the other options are wrong — (a) As the state capital, Bhopal hosts several MP sports academies, which makes it a natural guess — but the archery academy is at Jabalpur, not Bhopal.  (b) A major, sports-active MP city, but it is not the seat of the state archery academy.  (d) Jhabua's tribal belt is famous for producing archery talent, which is a tempting link — but the state academy itself is located at Jabalpur, not Jhabua.

Concept: Madhya Pradesh's Department of Sports and Youth Welfare set up dedicated academies for individual sports, each based in a particular city to build talent in that discipline. The archery (tirandazi) academy is headquartered at Jabalpur.
