The correct answer is Option B: General Dhiraj Seth. General Dhiraj Seth, the 31st Chief of the Army Staff of India, received the Honorary Rank of General of the Nepali Army in Kathmandu on 17 August 2026. The honorary-rank ceremony was held at Sheetal Niwas, the official presidential residence of Nepal, and was conducted by President Ram Chandra Paudel. India and Nepal have followed the reciprocal practice of conferring the honorary rank of General on each other’s Army Chiefs since 1950, symbolising their longstanding military ties. During his Nepal visit, General Dhiraj Seth held discussions with General Ashok Raj Sigdel, Chief of the Nepali Army, on bilateral defence cooperation and mutual strategic interests. India-Nepal defence cooperation includes military training, professional military education, equipment support, high-level military exchanges and cooperation in areas such as disaster response. India and Nepal share an open border of approximately 1,751 kilometres, making border management and security cooperation important dimensions of their bilateral relationship. General Dhiraj Seth was commissioned into the Armoured Corps in December 1986 and is an alumnus of the National Defence Academy, Khadakwasla. General Seth's Nepal visit from 17–19 August 2026 was aimed at strengthening India-Nepal defence and military-to-military relations.
