When and where was the 45th session of the Indian National Congress held?

Appeared in: NCL (Northern Coalfields Limited)-NO

Explanation

The 45th session of the Indian National Congress was held in Karachi in 1931.
This session was presided over by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
It is historically significant for its resolution on Fundamental Rights and the National Economic Programme.
The session also endorsed the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, which was crucial for the ongoing freedom struggle.

Option B: The Lahore session in 1929 was the 44th session, not the 45th. It was presided over by Jawaharlal Nehru.
Option C: No session of the Indian National Congress was held in 1930. The Congress was actively involved in the Civil Disobedience Movement during this period.
Option D: The INC session in 1932 was the 46th session, held in Delhi. The Madras session mentioned was in 1927 (42nd session).

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain History of Indian National Congress Sessions as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
While this is a general knowledge question, understanding the historical context of India's freedom struggle is important for a well-rounded education, which is often tested in the general aptitude section of nursing entrance exams.
Knowledge of key historical events, such as the resolutions on fundamental rights and economic policy, provides insight into the foundational principles of the Indian constitution and public policy.
What if? - If the question had asked for the session that passed the 'Purna Swaraj' resolution, the answer would have been Lahore, 1929. This highlights the importance of linking specific resolutions to the correct session.

How to Approach the Question

Identify the key entities in the question: '45th session' and 'Indian National Congress'.
This is a factual recall question from Indian History.
Systematically evaluate each option (Year and Place) against your knowledge of INC sessions.
Recall that the Lahore session (1929) was for 'Purna Swaraj' and was the 44th session.
Recall that 1930 was the year of the Civil Disobedience Movement, so no session was held.
This process of elimination and direct recall points to the Karachi session in 1931 as the 45th session.
