UPSSSC PET 2026 Question Paper (01-Nov-2026) (Shift-2)
The correct answer is

January 24

National Girl Child Day was started in 2008 by the Ministry of Women and Child Development to raise awareness about the rights, education, health and nutrition of girls and the inequalities they face.

It is observed every year on 24 January; the date is linked to 24 January 1966, when Indira Gandhi took oath as India’s first woman Prime Minister.

11 October is the International Day of the Girl Child declared by the United Nations, 8 March is International Women’s Day, and 24 September is observed as National Service Scheme (NSS) Day, so none of them is the national observance asked about.

January 24 option is correct.
