Q1Match List I with List II for VB-G RAM-G. List I: 1. Presidential assent 2. Gazette publication 3. Nationwide rural commencement 4. Guaranteed employment entitlement List II: a. 20 December 2025 b. 21 December 2025 c. 01 July 2026 d. 125 days per household per financial year
VB-G RAM-G received Presidential assent on 20 December 2025 and was published in the Gazette on 21 December 2025. Its nationwide rural commencement is 01 July 2026. The employment guarantee under VB-G RAM-G is 125 days per rural household per financial year. Matching these facts gives Presidential assent with 20 December 2025, Gazette publication with 21 December 2025, commencement with 01 July 2026, and entitlement with 125 days per household per financial year.
Q2In the context of MGNREGA wage payment, which feature best explains its link with transparency and formal finance?
MGNREGA wage payment is linked with transparency because wages are credited through bank or post-office accounts. This creates a record of payment and connects workers with formal financial channels. It also reduces the dependence on intermediaries that could arise in opaque cash-based systems. The exam-worthy point is not a fixed wage rate or cash distribution at the worksite, but account-based payment with official records through the scheme process.
Q3Read the Assertion and Reason and choose the correct answer. Assertion: VB-G RAM-G is the statutory successor to MGNREGA, not a supplementary scheme running alongside it. Reason: From 01 July 2026, MGNREGA stands repealed nationwide, with transition provisions for saved works, records, liabilities and proceedings.
VB-G RAM-G is not a top-up or parallel support scheme. It is the statutory successor to MGNREGA. The Reason gives the legal cue: from 01 July 2026, MGNREGA stands repealed nationwide, while transition provisions protect saved works, records, liabilities and proceedings. Because repeal and succession are directly linked, the statement that both parts are true and that the repeal explains the successor status is the correct reading.
Q4Under MGNREGA, which statement best describes the role of a job card?
The job card is the entry document in the MGNREGA rights chain. It records the registered rural household and the adult members who may seek unskilled manual work. The Gram Panchayat receives applications, verifies eligibility, registers households and issues job cards. Therefore, the best description is the identity and entitlement document for a household and its eligible adult members. Treating it as a payment receipt, a Gram Sabha work list or a land-ownership certificate misses its link with registration, transparency and demand for work.
Q5Match List I with List II in the context of MGNREGA local institutions. List I: A. Gram Panchayat B. Gram Sabha C. Social audit D. Durable asset focus List II: 1. Community checks work, wages, records and existence of assets 2. Registration, job cards, work applications, allotment and planning 3. Useful public or livelihood-supporting result from work 4. Public forum to identify needs and prioritise works
The Gram Panchayat is part of the delivery structure: it handles registration, job cards, receipt of work applications, allotment and planning. The Gram Sabha brings local needs into the open and helps prioritise works through a public forum. Social audit is the community check on whether work was done, wages were paid, records match reality and assets exist. Durable asset focus means work should leave a useful public or livelihood-supporting result. These links give the matching Gram Panchayat-registration, Gram Sabha-prioritisation, social audit-community checking and durable asset-useful result.
