Q2Which description correctly characterises Beti Bachao Beti Padhao?

A An individual scholarship paid annually to every school-going girl

B A small-savings account carrying a government-backed interest rate

C A cash-transfer programme for families below a fixed income threshold

D A behaviour-change and inter-departmental convergence campaign without individual cash transfer

Explanation

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao works through advocacy, community mobilisation and convergence among women and child development, health, education and local institutions. It has no individual cash incentive or Direct Benefit Transfer, so option D captures its actual design.

Q3Beti Bachao Beti Padhao was launched on which date and at which place?

A 8 March 2018, Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan

B 22 January 2015, Panipat, Haryana

C 22 January 2015, Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan

D 8 March 2018, Panipat, Haryana

Explanation

The Prime Minister launched Beti Bachao Beti Padhao at Panipat, Haryana, on 22 January 2015. Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, is linked to the later pan-India expansion on 8 March 2018, so option B alone has the correct date-place pair.

Q4Consider the following two statements about Beti Bachao Beti Padhao: Statement I: Since 2021-22, it has been a component of the Sambal vertical of Mission Shakti. Statement II: Its district grant is divided into 50% for women and child development sectoral activities, 40% for convergence with line departments and 10% as a flexi fund. Which option is correct?

A Only Statement I is correct

B Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

C Only Statement II is correct

D Neither Statement I nor Statement II is correct

Explanation

Both statements are correct. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao became a component of Mission Shakti's Sambal vertical from 2021-22. Its district grant is separately allocated as 50% for sectoral activities, 40% for convergence and 10% as a flexi fund, making option B the complete answer.

Q5Match the birth-sex-ratio category in List I with the annual district grant in List II under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao: List I: 1. 918 or below; 2. 919-952; 3. Above 952; 4. No birth-sex-ratio data in 21 new districts. List II: a. ₹20 lakh; b. ₹30 lakh; c. ₹40 lakh. Choose the correct code.

A 1-b, 2-c, 3-a, 4-b

B 1-c, 2-b, 3-b, 4-a

C 1-c, 2-b, 3-a, 4-b

D 1-a, 2-b, 3-c, 4-b

Explanation

The annual grant declines as the birth sex ratio improves: districts at 918 or below receive ₹40 lakh, those at 919-952 receive ₹30 lakh, and those above 952 receive ₹20 lakh. The 21 new districts lacking ratio data are assigned ₹30 lakh; hence 1-c, 2-b, 3-a, 4-b.
