SSC CGL 2025 Tier-I · 12 September 2025, Shift 3 · General Awareness · Question 11 of 100

We transcribed this text from the pictures on a candidate's response sheet for this shift; the answer is the key SSC colour-marked on that sheet. Solution last reviewed 11 September 2026.

Where this paper and its answers come from

SSC does not publish CGL question papers or a public answer key. From 2025 the candidate response sheet prints every question and option as a picture, so the text here is transcribed from those pictures for this shift and checked against them independently; where the layout carries meaning, the picture is shown as well. Each answer is the key SSC colour-marked on that sheet. SSC released a tentative key for challenge and later its final one, both only to candidates behind a login, and the sheet does not say which of the two it carries. The solutions are written by UnlockIAS.

What was launched on Electrical Safety Day 2025 by MoS Power and New & Renewable Energy, Shri Shripad Naik?

(a)National Fire Safety Code
(b)Suraksha Shakti safety mascot
(c)Smart Meter Adoption Program
(d)Digital Grid Optimization Tool

Answer

Why

Correct — B. The keyed launch is Suraksha Shakti, an electrical safety mascot: a lightning-bolt figure in a hard hat, with the tagline 'Handle Electricity with Care, Always Stay Aware!'

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) marked Electrical Safety Day on 26 June 2025, and the mascot appears on its website and in a June 2025 electrical safety handbook issued with BSES. So option (b).

Why the others are wrong

(a)
National Fire Safety Code — A fire code is a regulatory document, and it is not what the key records. The launch it marks is an awareness mascot for electrical safety.
(c)
Smart Meter Adoption Program — Smart meters are already being rolled out under the Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme, so this is not the awareness launch the key records.
(d)
Digital Grid Optimization Tool — Grid optimisation is a system-operation subject. The launch the key records is an awareness mascot aimed at the public, not a grid tool.

Concept

The Central Electricity Authority is a statutory body under the Ministry of Power, and it marked Electrical Safety Day in both 2025 and 2026 with events and publications.

An awareness day speaks to the public, and a mascot is a device for exactly that: a character that carries one safety message onto posters, booklets and screens.

Suraksha Shakti's Hindi slogan on the CEA website reads Suraksha hai jahan, khushiyan hain wahan, where there is safety, there is happiness.

Its tagline is 'Handle Electricity with Care, Always Stay Aware!'

The CEA is a statutory body under the Ministry of Power.

Common traps

Picking the fire-safety option because the word safety appears in it.
Choosing a policy-sounding option over the awareness product the stem describes.

Here a current-affairs launch is identified by what was launched. Mascots also appear at 17 Sep 2024, 12:30, GA Q.3, which asks the mascot of the Khelo India University Games 2022 (keyed Jitu).
