\nStatement C is correct. The first SAARC Award was posthumously conferred upon late President Ziaur Rahman of Bangladesh (one of the proponents of SAARC) for his vision and contribution to the idea of regional cooperation in South Asia.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe SAARC Award is conferred to individuals or organizations for their outstanding contribution to the cause of peace, development, poverty alleviation, and regional cooperation in South Asia.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement A is incorrect; Myanmar is not a member of SAARC. Statement B is incorrect; the SAARC Secretariat is located in Kathmandu, Nepal, although the first summit was held in Dhaka. Statement D is incorrect; the Secretary General of SAARC is appointed by the Council of Ministers on the principle of rotation among the Member States in alphabetical order and serves for a term of three years. While there have been Indian Secretaries General in the past, the statement refers to the “present” which is relative to the time of the question and also typically implies the current office holder. However, even looking at historical SGs around the likely time of this question’s origin (early 2010s), the SG was from Nepal (2011-2014). Regardless, C is a definitively correct historical fact about the SAARC award.
