Who chairs the jury that selects the Gandhi Peace Prize recipient?
- The President of India
- The Prime Minister of India
- The Chief Justice of India
- The Minister of Culture
Answer: The Prime Minister of India
The Gandhi Peace Prize jury is chaired by the Prime Minister of India. The other members are the Chief Justice of India, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha (or the leader of the largest opposition party), the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, and two eminent persons appointed for a three-year term. This is a common exam question because it is unusual for a PM to chair an awards jury — it reflects the prize's status as a high-level national honour with diplomatic significance.
