Janta Clinics, Rajasthan MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Statement 1 is correct because residents use a facility-based public health service, not an application-driven cash or insurance benefit. Statement 2 is incorrect: free medicines and basic diagnostics are expressly included with outpatient consultation. Statement 3 is correct because clinics maintain referral linkage with higher facilities. Hence only 1 and 3 are correct.

Janta Clinics are neighbourhood-level urban primary-health facilities intended particularly for poor and vulnerable residents near slums, dense settlements and localities lacking a nearby public health facility. The benefit is direct, facility-based first-contact care rather than a cash transfer, insurance reimbursement or enterprise loan.

The departmental norm places approximately 20,000 urban residents in the catchment of each centre. This relatively local coverage matches the purpose of placing primary healthcare near poor and vulnerable neighbourhoods. Therefore 20,000, not 5,000, 10,000 or 50,000, is the correct numerical recall.

Both statements are correct. Official Rajasthan reporting places the earlier Janta Clinic model within the wider Urban Ayushman Arogya Mandir framework. Because that framework reports a broader institutional category, its aggregate operational total cannot, without a separate category-specific figure, be quoted as the exact number of named Janta Clinic-UHWC units. Thus R directly explains A.

The staffing norm totals 5 positions: one medical officer, one GNM, one ANM and two support staff. Adding the listed posts gives 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5. The distractors preserve a total of five but shift one post between categories, so only option D reproduces the sanctioned composition exactly.
