Q1Consider the following statements about Mission Shakti funding: 1. Sambal receives 100% central assistance. 2. Samarthya generally follows a 60:40 Centre-State sharing ratio in general States. 3. Samarthya follows a 90:10 Centre-State ratio for North-Eastern and Special Category States. 4. Union Territories without a legislature receive 100% central funding. Which option is correct?

A 1, 2, 3 and 4
B 1 and 2 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 3 and 4 only
Explanation

All 4 statements reproduce the differentiated funding design. Sambal has 100% central assistance. Samarthya is generally shared 60:40 in general States and 90:10 in North-Eastern and Special Category States, while Union Territories without a legislature receive 100% central funding. Hence all statements are correct.

Q2Which pair correctly identifies the 2 sub-schemes of Mission Shakti and their primary focus?

A Sambal—safety and security; Samarthya—empowerment
B Sambal—empowerment; Samarthya—safety and security
C Sambal—maternal nutrition only; Samarthya—police modernisation only
D Sambal—rural livelihoods; Samarthya—urban housing
Explanation

Mission Shakti is organised into exactly 2 sub-schemes. Sambal brings together measures for women's safety and security, while Samarthya groups measures aimed at women's empowerment. Therefore option A preserves both the official names and their correct focus.

Q3Which statement about shelter support under Mission Shakti is incorrect?

A A One Stop Centre may provide temporary shelter for up to 5 days.
B Girls of all ages may accompany a woman in temporary shelter at a One Stop Centre.
C Boys up to 12 years may accompany a woman in temporary shelter at a One Stop Centre.
D A One Stop Centre itself provides routine rehabilitation residence for up to 3 years.
Explanation

A One Stop Centre offers immediate integrated support and temporary shelter for no more than 5 days; accompanying girls of all ages and boys up to 12 years may stay. The normal rehabilitation residence of up to 3 years is a Shakti Sadan norm, so option D incorrectly assigns it to the One Stop Centre.

Q4Under the PMMVY component of Mission Shakti, what benefit is payable for the second child when that child is a girl?

A ₹5,000 in 2 instalments
B ₹5,000 in 1 instalment
C ₹6,000 in 1 instalment
D ₹6,000 in 2 instalments
Explanation

PMMVY provides ₹5,000 in 2 instalments for the first living child. Its extended benefit for the second child applies only when the second child is a girl, in which case ₹6,000 is paid in a single instalment. Thus both the amount and instalment count make option C correct.

Q5Which of the following is correctly placed under the Sambal sub-scheme of Mission Shakti?

A Shakti Sadan
B Nari Adalat
C Sakhi Niwas
D Palna
Explanation

Nari Adalat is a women-led local collective for alternative grievance redressal and gender justice, and it is explicitly a Sambal component. Shakti Sadan, Sakhi Niwas and Palna are all components of Samarthya, so only option B has the correct placement.
