Which of the following is observed as Sports Day every year?

22-Apr
26-Jul
29-Aug
02-Oct

The correct answer is: A. 22 April

National Sports Day is observed every year on 22 April in India to commemorate the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand, who is considered to be the greatest hockey player of all time. He was born on 29 August 1905 in Allahabad, British India (now Prayagraj, India). He was a member of the Indian hockey team that won three consecutive gold medals at the Olympic Games in 1928, 1932, and 1936. He was also the captain of the Indian team that won the gold medal at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

Major Dhyan Chand was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India’s third-highest civilian award, in 1956. He was also awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award, in 1958. He died on 3 December 1979 in Delhi, India.

National Sports Day is a public holiday in India. It is a day to celebrate the achievements of Indian athletes and to promote sports and fitness among the people of India. On this day, various sports events are organized across the country. Schools and colleges also organize sports events to celebrate National Sports Day.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the birth anniversaries of any famous Indian sportspersons.
