Q1Consider the following statements about the Lakhpati Didi scheme as implemented in Rajasthan in 2026:\n1. The scheme aims to raise the annual income of self-help group women to at least Rs 1 lakh.\n2. Rajasthan has raised the loan limit under the scheme to Rs 1.5 lakh and reduced the interest rate to 1.5 per cent.\nWhich of the statements given above is/are correct?
Both statements are correct. The Lakhpati Didi scheme of the Ministry of Rural Development targets an annual income of at least Rs 1 lakh for SHG women, and the Rajasthan government on 11 May 2026 announced an enhanced loan limit of Rs 1.5 lakh with a reduced interest rate of 1.5 per cent. Around 17.5 lakh women in the state have already crossed the income threshold.
Q2Assertion (A): The Rajasthan government has raised the loan limit to Rs 1.5 lakh and reduced the interest rate to 1.5 per cent under the Lakhpati Didi scheme in 2026.\nReason (R): The Lakhpati Didi scheme is implemented in Rajasthan through Rajeevika, the State Rural Livelihoods Mission under DAY-NRLM.\nSelect the correct option:
Both A and R are factually true. However, the implementing mission (Rajeevika under DAY-NRLM) is the delivery channel of the scheme but is not the reason for the state choosing to raise the loan limit and reduce the interest rate. The state's policy decision is driven by the goal of deeper credit access and women empowerment, not merely by the mission's presence. Hence R is true but is not the correct explanation of A.
