Q1Which one of the following statements about the financing of Mission Amrit Sarovar is incorrect?
Option C is incorrect because Mission Amrit Sarovar is a community water-body mission implemented through rural districts and Gram Panchayats, not a separate cash-transfer entitlement for individual farm ponds. Its works draw on convergence among MGNREGS, Finance Commission grants, PMKSY components, state schemes, public contribution and CSR, with MGNREGS money barred from beautification.
Q2Consider the following statements about Mission Amrit Sarovar: 1. A standard Amrit Sarovar in a plain area should have at least 1 acre of pondage area and about 10,000 cubic metres of water-holding capacity. 2. In Phase II, the minimum norm for hilly and coastal areas is 0.25 acre and 2,500 cubic metres of water-holding capacity. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Both statements are correct. The plain-area standard combines at least 1 acre of pondage with about 10,000 cubic metres of storage. Phase II accommodates terrain constraints in hilly and coastal areas by allowing a minimum of 0.25 acre while requiring at least 2,500 cubic metres of water-holding capacity.
Q3What was the original nationwide target under Mission Amrit Sarovar?
The original mission target was to construct or rejuvenate at least 75 Amrit Sarovars in every rural district, producing a nationwide target of about 50,000 water bodies. The target concerned community ponds at the rural-district level; it was neither an individual subsidy nor a one-pond-per-Gram-Panchayat quota.
Q4Consider the following pairs relating to Mission Amrit Sarovar: 1. BISAG-N — Portal and geospatial workflow support 2. Gram Sabha — Approval in the site-selection process 3. User groups — Maintenance and livelihood activities linked to the sarovar 4. MGNREGS — Permitted funding for beautification works How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?
Exactly three pairs are correct. BISAG-N supports the portal and geospatial process; Gram Sabha approval forms part of site selection; and user groups help maintain sarovars and pursue related livelihoods. Pair 4 reverses an explicit restriction: MGNREGS can converge in financing the works, but its funds cannot be spent on beautification.
Q5Which institution is the nodal authority for Mission Amrit Sarovar?
The Department of Rural Development within the Ministry of Rural Development is the nodal authority for Mission Amrit Sarovar. Other departments, ministries, Gram Sabhas and district officials participate through the whole-of-government implementation framework, but that participation does not make them the nodal authority.
