A. Sri Ganganagar : 1. 46. B. Bikaner : 2. 36. C. Barmer : 3. 30. D. Jaisalmer : 4. 68.

A A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3
B A-1, B-4, C-3, D-2
C A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3
D A-3, B-1, C-4, D-2
Explanation

The correct matching is A-4, B-1, C-2, D-3. Under the Vibrant Villages Programme Phase Two launched on 26 May 2026 from the India Pakistan border near Bikaner, the distribution of 184 strategic villages across five Rajasthan border districts is as follows: Sri Ganganagar has 68 villages, Bikaner has 46 villages, Barmer has 36 villages, Jaisalmer has 30 villages, and Phalodi has 4 villages. The programme has an allocation of Rs 3 crore annually per village with Rs 137 crore approved for more than 1000 development works.

Q2Match the VVP-II funding component with the institution or channel explicitly linked to it in the cited provision. List I 1. Value-chain development List II a. Cooperatives and self-help groups b. District mineral foundations c. Urban local bodies d. Cantonment boards Select the correct match.

A 1-a
B 1-c
C 1-b
D 1-d
Explanation

The correct match is value-chain development with cooperatives and self-help groups, because the cited fact names these channels for border villages under VVP-II. District mineral foundations, urban local bodies and cantonment boards are plausible governance bodies, but they are not the channels named in the assigned fact for value-chain development.

Q3What is the total approved outlay of Vibrant Villages Programme-II up to Financial Year 2028-29?

A Rs. 5,500 crore
B Rs. 6,839 crore
C Rs. 4,800 crore
D Rs. 6,671 crore
Explanation

The approved outlay stated for VVP-II is Rs. 6,839 crore up to Financial Year 2028-29. The figures Rs. 4,800 crore, Rs. 5,500 crore and Rs. 6,671 crore are close budget-style numbers but are not the outlay given in the cited Cabinet approval fact.

Q4At the 20 February 2026 launch of VVP-II, match Assam's stated coverage units with their figures. List I 1. Districts 2. Blocks 3. Villages List II a. 140 b. 9 c. 26 Choose the correct code.

A 1-b, 2-a, 3-c
B 1-a, 2-b, 3-c
C 1-b, 2-c, 3-a
D 1-c, 2-b, 3-a
Explanation

Assam's VVP-II coverage at launch was stated as 9 districts, 26 blocks and 140 villages. Pairing districts with 140, blocks with 140, or villages with 26 reverses the cited administrative units and figures.

Q5Assertion: In VVP-II, suitable relaxations in scheme guidelines for border-area implementation can be considered by a High-Powered Committee chaired by the Cabinet Secretary. Reason: The committee is empowered to consider such relaxations for effective implementation in border areas. Choose the correct answer.

A Both the Assertion and the Reason are true, and the Reason explains the Assertion
B Both the Assertion and the Reason are true, but the Reason does not explain the Assertion
C The Assertion is true, but the Reason is false
D The Assertion is false, but the Reason is true
Explanation

The Assertion is true because the cited VVP-II fact names a High-Powered Committee chaired by the Cabinet Secretary for considering suitable relaxations in scheme guidelines. The Reason is also true and directly explains the Assertion because the empowerment is specifically for effective implementation in border areas. Verdicts that deny either statement or deny the explanatory link do not match the sourced fact.
