Which one of the following States/ Union Territories has been chosen to host National Games 2022?

Appeared in: UPPSC 2017

Explanation

Meghalaya was officially chosen by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to host the 39th National Games in 2022.
The selection was particularly significant as 2022 marked the 50th anniversary of Meghalaya's statehood.
Despite scheduling disruptions due to the pandemic (which resulted in Gujarat hosting the 36th Games in 2022), Meghalaya remains the correct answer based on the question asking which state was 'chosen to host'.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain General Knowledge: Indian National Games Host States as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This is a general knowledge question and does not have direct clinical relevance to nursing practice.
Staying updated on current affairs, including major national events, is part of the general intelligence section of many competitive exams for nursing positions.
What if? - If the stem changed one defining clue so that Meghalaya no longer matched, reassess the option whose mechanism, classification, or indication now fits the revised presentation.

How to Approach the Question

Identify the key components of the question: 'National Games', '2022', and 'host'.
Recognize this as a factual recall question from the general knowledge domain.
Carefully evaluate each option based on your knowledge of recent national sporting events in India.
Pay close attention to the specific wording 'chosen to host', which may differ from the state where the games were actually held due to postponements or changes.
Eliminate options that are clearly incorrect (e.g., hosted in a different year or long ago).
Select the option that best fits the specific details of the question, even if there are complexities like scheduling changes.
