In which year did the government of India decide to make the Peacock as the national bird of India?
Show Hint
The national symbols of India, like the peacock, are often tied to cultural heritage, making them significant to the country's identity.
- 15th August, 1947
- 26th January, 1950
- 1st February, 1963
15th August, 1965
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
The Peacock was declared the national bird of India on 1st February, 1963, due to its rich religious and cultural significance in the country. Why option (C) fits: 1st February, 1963 is the date when the Peacock was officially recognized as the national bird. Eliminations: (A), (B), and (D) are incorrect, as the national bird was not declared on those dates.
Approach Solution -2
None of these dates mark Independence or the Republic, so recalling the specific year of the wildlife-related declaration is what actually distinguishes them.
- 15th August, 1947: this is Independence Day, not the date of any bird declaration.
- 26th January, 1950: this is Republic Day, again unrelated to the peacock's designation.
- 1st February, 1963: the date the Government of India formally declared the peacock as the national bird.
- 15th August, 1965: another Independence Day anniversary with no connection to this declaration.
Only one of these four dates corresponds to an actual wildlife notification, and that is 1st February, 1963.
Hence, the correct answer is 1st February, 1963.
