Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 'Equal Partners, Lasting Peace'.
According to the source, Major Swathi Shantha Kumar, an Indian Army officer, received the UN Secretary-General's Award 2025 for her work in gender-inclusive peacekeeping.
The award recognised her project titled 'Equal Partners, Lasting Peace', which strengthened UNMISS's gender-inclusive approach.
The project was selected from global nominations and secured the highest votes in the Gender Category during a UN-wide voting process.
The source provides personal as well as operational context.
Major Swathi is from Bengaluru and is the eldest of three daughters.
She had aspired to serve in the Army from a young age.
Under her leadership, the Indian Engagement Team improved gender parity and engaged more than 5,000 women in community activities in South Sudan.
The initiative also involved operations such as patrols that increased safety and trust in conflict-affected areas.
According to the source, her project serves as a model for future peacekeeping missions and demonstrates the importance of gender-inclusive leadership for stability in fragile regions.
The key associations for examination preparation are therefore: Major Swathi Shantha Kumar → Indian Army → UN Secretary-General's Award 2025 → gender-inclusive peacekeeping → project 'Equal Partners, Lasting Peace' → UNMISS → highest votes in Gender Category → South Sudan → more than 5,000 women engaged.
Students should not confuse the project title with a general UN slogan.
The exact title in the source is 'Equal Partners, Lasting Peace'.
The source also emphasises that the project emerged from global nominations and succeeded through a UN-wide voting process.
Thus questions may ask the recipient, project, mission, category, location or number of women engaged.
Since the present question asks specifically for the project associated with Major Swathi's award, option A is correct.
