Q1Consider the following statements about the statutory delivery of Rajasthan's urban employment guarantee: 1. Permissible work must be provided within 15 days of a valid application. 2. If work is not provided within that period, the applicant becomes entitled to unemployment allowance as prescribed. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only
B Both 1 and 2
C 2 only
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Both statements are correct. The Rajasthan Minimum Guaranteed Income Act, 2023 requires the programme officer to provide permissible work within no more than 15 days from the application. When the officer fails to meet that deadline, the applicant is entitled to the unemployment allowance prescribed under the Act and rules.

Q2What is the current official name of the programme formerly called Indira Gandhi Shahari Rozgar Guarantee Yojana?

A Mukhyamantri Gramin Rojgar Guarantee Yojana
B Rajasthan Yuva Berozgari Bhatta Yojana
C Mukhyamantri Shahari Rojgar Guarantee Yojana
D Rajasthan Shahari Kaushal Rin Yojana
Explanation

Option C is correct. The official orders page records that Indira Gandhi Shahari Rozgar Guarantee Yojana was renamed Mukhyamantri Shahari Rojgar Guarantee Yojana through the order dated 25 November 2024. The programme's urban wage-employment character continued after the renaming.

Q3Which applicant profile is eligible to register for work under Rajasthan's urban employment guarantee programme?

A An adult aged 18-60 years belonging to an urban household registered through Jan Aadhaar
B Any rural resident aged 16-65 years holding only a ration card
C Only an unemployed graduate aged 21-35 years with an employment-exchange card
D Every member of a Jan Aadhaar household, including minors and persons above 60 years
Explanation

Option A is correct because the eligible unit is an urban household linked to a Jan Aadhaar card or enrolment ID, and its adult members aged 18-60 years may register for work. The programme is not restricted to graduates and does not cover rural households under this urban entitlement.

Q4Consider the following statements about Rajasthan's urban employment guarantee programme: 1. The Local Self Government Department, Rajasthan, is its nodal department. 2. Registration may be completed through the official portal, SSO, e-Mitra or an urban local body. 3. It is fully funded by the Rajasthan government rather than being a centrally sponsored scheme. 4. The official portal records an annual provision of ₹800 crore. How many of the statements given above are correct?

A All four
B Only three
C Only two
D Only one
Explanation

All four statements are correct. The Local Self Government Department is the nodal authority, while applicants can use the portal, SSO, e-Mitra or the urban local body for free registration. Funding comes entirely from Rajasthan, not through a Union share, and the official portal states an annual provision of ₹800 crore.

Q5Which one of the following pairs is incorrectly matched with an officially permissible work group under Rajasthan's urban employment guarantee programme?

A Water conservation — cleaning and revival of ponds and stepwells
B Environmental protection — plantation and maintenance of parks and nurseries
C Heritage conservation — labour support for upkeep of identified heritage sites
D Service works — disbursing unsecured business loans to urban vendors
Explanation

Option D is incorrectly matched. Service works cover support to urban local bodies, record keeping, and labour in shelters or cattle facilities; they do not involve disbursing unsecured business loans. The other three pairs reproduce permissible environmental, water-conservation and heritage work categories correctly.
