Explanationव्याख्या

All five statements are correct according to the source.
The Indian Olympic Association launched the National Olympic Education and Development Programme and reactivated the National Olympic Academy on 12 January 2026.
These initiatives aim to strengthen India's Olympic movement through athlete-centric development and the adoption of global best practices in sports education.
The National Olympic Academy had remained inactive since 2018.
Its revival gives it the role of a central institution for Olympic education, research and dialogue in India.
The leadership appointments are particularly important: IOA President P.
T.
Usha was appointed President of the National Olympic Academy, while Olympic medallist and IOA Vice President Gagan Narang was appointed its Director.
These designations should not be interchanged.
The NOEDP, meanwhile, will function as a nationwide framework for structured sports education.
The source states that it will be implemented in partnership with National Sports Federations and State Olympic Associations.
This creates a useful distinction between the academy and programme.
NOA → institution for Olympic education, research and dialogue.
NOEDP → nationwide framework for structured sports education.
Both are part of the broader effort to strengthen India's Olympic movement.
The date 12 January 2026 is common to the launch of NOEDP and reactivation of NOA.
Another important year is 2018, from which the academy had been inactive.
For competitive examinations, a statement might falsely claim that Gagan Narang was made President and P.
T.
Usha Director; the source gives the opposite designations.
Similarly, NOEDP is not limited to one State because it is described as a nationwide framework.
Quick revision: IOA → 12 Jan 2026 → NOEDP + NOA → P.
T.
Usha President → Gagan Narang Director → NOA inactive since 2018 → NOEDP partnership with NSFs + State Olympic Associations.
Therefore all five statements are correct and option D is the answer.

सभी पाँच statements source के अनुसार सही हैं। Indian Olympic Association ने 12 January 2026 को National Olympic Education and Development Programme launch किया और National Olympic Academy को reactivate किया। Initiatives का उद्देश्य athlete-centric development और sports education में global best practices अपनाकर India's Olympic movement strengthen करना है। National Olympic Academy 2018 से inactive थी। Revival के बाद इसे Olympic education, research और dialogue की central institution के रूप में position किया गया। Leadership appointments बहुत important हैं: IOA President P. T. Usha → President of National Olympic Academy; Olympic medallist और IOA Vice President Gagan Narang → Director of National Olympic Academy। इन designations को interchange नहीं करना चाहिए। दूसरी ओर NOEDP structured sports education के लिए nationwide framework के रूप में function करेगा। Source के अनुसार इसे National Sports Federations और State Olympic Associations के partnership में implement किया जाएगा। इसलिए Academy और Programme का difference समझें। NOA → Olympic education, research और dialogue की institution। NOEDP → structured sports education का nationwide framework। दोनों initiatives broader Olympic movement strengthening effort का हिस्सा हैं। Important date 12 January 2026 है, जबकि academy inactive since 2018 थी। Exam trap में Gagan Narang को President और P. T. Usha को Director बताया जा सकता है, जो source के अनुसार गलत होगा। NOEDP किसी एक State तक limited नहीं है; source इसे nationwide framework बताता है। Quick revision: IOA → 12 Jan 2026 → NOEDP launch + NOA revival → P. T. Usha President → Gagan Narang Director → NOA inactive since 2018 → partnership with National Sports Federations + State Olympic Associations। इसलिए सभी statements सही हैं और option D correct answer है।
