What initiative in Visakhapatnam aims to provide an inclusive space for differently abled children?
- (a)Smart School Initiative
- (b)Solar Post Light Project
- (c)All-Abilities Park
- (d)Green Mobility Project
Answer
Why
Correct — C. The All-Abilities Park at R K Beach, Visakhapatnam, was developed by the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) under the Smart Cities Mission.
It was built as a play space where differently abled children can play alongside others.
A park for all abilities → option (c).
Why the others are wrong
- (a)Smart School Initiative — A school programme, not a play space. 'Smart School Initiative' names education infrastructure, while the question asks for an inclusive space for differently abled children.
- (b)Solar Post Light Project — Street lighting. 'Solar Post Light Project' names solar-powered lights, which says nothing about a space designed for differently abled children.
- (d)Green Mobility Project — Transport. 'Green Mobility Project' names clean transport, not an inclusive space where differently abled children can play.
Concept
An all-abilities (inclusive) park is designed so that children with and without disabilities can play together, rather than in separate facilities.
Visakhapatnam's park at R K Beach was developed by GVMC as a Smart Cities Mission project, with play equipment introduced for children with disabilities.
The item turns on the phrase inclusive space for differently abled children. The decoys are generic civic-project names, and 'Smart School' borrows the 'smart' of the Smart Cities Mission.
