Atal Pragati Path (rural roads) MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The Public Works Department, Government of Rajasthan, is the nodal implementing department. The Finance Department provides budgetary provisioning, while the Public Works Department handles approvals, estimates, tenders, work orders, construction, measurement, quality control, and maintenance responsibility.

Atal Pragati Path is a Rajasthan state road-infrastructure initiative implemented through the Public Works Department. Its public benefit is cement-concrete road facilities in selected large villages and rural towns; it is not a cash transfer, household reimbursement, or urban-flyover scheme.

Exactly three statements are correct: 1, 2, and 4. The initiative was announced on 10 July 2024 in the Rajasthan Modified Budget 2024-25; it selects villages or rural towns and provides cement-concrete roads. Statement 3 is false because there is no citizen reimbursement application; the work follows the departmental sanction and construction chain.

Both statements are correct. Phase I targets villages with a population of 10,000 or more. Phase II extends the programme to rural towns in the 5,000-10,000 population band, and Census 2011 supplies the population base for identifying settlements in that second band.

The incorrect pair is Phase II with 78 works completed. Up to December 2025, Phase II had approvals for 249 villages but only 39 completed works. The number 78 belongs to Phase I approvals, while Phase I construction stood at 35, so shifting 78 to Phase II completions mixes distinct figures.
