Practice questions
Q1Which one of the following statements about water-quality surveillance under Jal Jeevan Mission is incorrect?
Option A is incorrect because the village-level surveillance design calls for training 5 women, not 10 men. Their task covers drinking-water sources using Field Test Kits, with suspect samples taken for laboratory confirmation; it is not restricted to household tap outlets. The other three options accurately describe the monitoring framework.
Q2Match List I with List II and select the correct code. List I: (a) Coverage works in Rajasthan; (b) Support activities and WQM&S in Rajasthan; (c) Community contribution in hilly, forested, or SC/ST-majority villages; (d) Community contribution in other villages. List II: (1) 5%; (2) 10%; (3) Centre:State 50:50; (4) Centre:State 60:40.
Rajasthan is an other State, so coverage works follow a 50:50 Centre:State share, while support activities and WQM&S follow 60:40. Community contribution is 5% of in-village capital cost in hilly, forested, and SC/ST-majority villages and 10% in the remaining villages. Thus a-3, b-4, c-1, d-2 is correct.
Q3For coverage works under Jal Jeevan Mission, what is the Centre:State funding ratio applicable to Rajasthan?
Rajasthan falls in the category of other States under the mission's funding pattern. Coverage infrastructure in this category is financed equally by the Centre and the State, giving a Centre:State ratio of 50:50. The 60:40 ratio concerns support and water-quality activities instead.
Q4Consider the following statements about village-level implementation of Jal Jeevan Mission: 1. The Gram Panchayat or its Village Water and Sanitation Committee prepares the Village Action Plan and handles operation and maintenance of the in-village system. 2. The Village Action Plan includes source strengthening, water supply, greywater management, household contribution, timeline, and operation and maintenance. Which of the statements is/are correct?
Both statements are correct. JJM uses bottom-up planning through the Gram Panchayat or VWSC/Paani Samiti, which also operates and maintains the in-village system. Its Village Action Plan expressly covers the source, supply system, greywater, schedule, household contribution, and future operation and maintenance.
Q5What minimum quantity and quality benchmark defines a functional household tap connection under Jal Jeevan Mission?
A functional household tap connection must supply drinking water regularly in an adequate quantity of at least 55 litres per capita per day. Its quality must conform to the BIS:10500 drinking-water standard, so option A correctly combines both elements of functionality.
