On which date is Indian Army Day observed each year?

Last Updated:

ADundigal, Telangana
BAnti-tank guided missile
C15 January
DAttack helicopter
Correct Answer: 15 JanuaryYour Answer: C

Explanation

Correct Answer: Option C — **15 January**. **15 January** is the accurate answer because the day commemorates Lieutenant General K. Cariappa taking over as the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army in 1949. This identifying fact establishes its correct connection with commemorative day and distinguishes it from the other defence-related choices. Why the other options are incorrect: Option A — **Dundigal, Telangana**: This is actually associated with training institution; specifically, the academy provides pre-commission training for Indian Air Force officer trainees. Option B — **Anti-tank guided missile**: This is actually associated with anti-armour missile; specifically, Nag was developed as an indigenous guided missile for engaging armoured targets. Option D — **Attack helicopter**: This is actually associated with rotary-wing combat platform; specifically, Apache is a dedicated attack helicopter designed for armed reconnaissance and engagement of ground targets. Exam Takeaway: Link **15 January** with its exact **commemorative day** association for fast **Indian Defence GK** revision.

Important Notes

  • **Identity:** 15 January is associated with commemorative day.
  • **Key fact:** the day commemorates Lieutenant General K. M. Cariappa taking over as the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army in 1949.
  • **Exam trap:** Check whether the question asks about a service, institution, missile role, platform, operation or exercise before choosing a similarly familiar defence term.
