Q1What is the proposed outlay and implementation period of the Bharatiya Bhasha Pustak Scheme?

A ₹5,554.80 crore for 2025-26 to 2027-28
B ₹5,100 crore for 2024-25 to 2028-29
C ₹555.48 crore for 2025-26 only
D ₹22,000 crore for 2025-26 to 2029-30
Explanation

The official implementation-status document specifies a proposed budget of ₹5,554.80 crore for three years, from 2025-26 through 2027-28. The earlier figure of about ₹5,100 crore was only an estimate, while ₹22,000 refers to a book-count target under a linked initiative rather than this scheme's outlay.

Q2Consider the following statements about the Bharatiya Bhasha Pustak Scheme: 1. It covers digital textbooks and study material for both school and higher education. 2. Its proposed three-year outlay covers 2025-26 to 2027-28. 3. It is designed primarily as a direct cash-transfer scheme for students. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 and 3 only
C 1 and 2 only
D 1, 2 and 3
Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: the scheme provides digital Indian-language learning material for school as well as higher education, and its proposed ₹5,554.80 crore outlay spans 2025-26 to 2027-28. Statement 3 is incorrect because the scheme expands access to content and does not transfer cash directly to students.

Q3What is the primary purpose of the Bharatiya Bhasha Pustak Scheme announced in the Union Budget 2025-26?

A To provide cash scholarships to students choosing an Indian-language medium
B To provide digital-form Indian-language books for school and higher education
C To finance only foreign-language laboratories in technical institutes
D To replace all printed books with compulsory paid subscriptions
Explanation

The scheme was proposed to supply digital-form Indian-language books for both school and higher education so that students can understand subjects better. It is therefore a language-access and educational-content initiative, not a scholarship, cash-transfer, or paid-subscription programme.

The Expenditure Finance Committee meeting for the scheme concluded on 11 December 2025. Thus, the correct match is 1-c, 2-a, 3-b.

Q5Consider the following two statements about the Bharatiya Bhasha Pustak Scheme: Statement I: The scheme was announced in the Union Budget 2025-26 to provide digital-form Indian-language books.

A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
B Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
C Statement I is incorrect, but Statement II is correct
D Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect
Explanation

Statement I is correct because the Union Budget 2025-26 proposed the scheme for digital-form Indian-language books.
