Which of the following cities of Uttar Pradesh is NOT included as a venue for the 11 meetings of 200 sessions of G-20 during India's presidency?

A Agra
B Varanasi
C Kanpur
D Greater Noida

Correct answer: (c) Kanpur

Explanation

  1. A

    Agra

    Option (a) claims Agra was included as a G-20 venue in Uttar Pradesh. Agra hosted prominent events during India's presidency, making this option incorrect as a city that was left out.

  2. B

    Varanasi

    Option (b) claims Varanasi was among the G-20 meeting venues in the state. Varanasi successfully hosted multiple cultural and developmental ministerial sessions, which is why it is not the correct choice.

  3. C

    Kanpur

    Option (c) claims Kanpur was not included as a venue for the G-20 meetings in Uttar Pradesh. During India's presidency, the state hosted events in cities like Agra, Varanasi, Greater Noida, and Lucknow, but Kanpur was omitted from the final venue list, establishing this as the official key.

  4. D

    Greater Noida

    Option (d) claims Greater Noida was included as a G-20 summit venue in Uttar Pradesh. Greater Noida hosted key industrial and technological discussions, ruling it out as the correct answer.

Summary. Official key is (c) Kanpur. During India's G-20 presidency, Uttar Pradesh hosted multiple official meetings across selected metropolitan hubs. Agra, Varanasi, Lucknow, and Greater Noida were chosen as the primary venues to showcase the state's heritage and infrastructure. Kanpur, despite being a major industrial center, was not included in the final official list of meeting locations. Therefore, option (c) correctly identifies the city left out from the venue schedule.
