Mukhyamantri Adarsh Gram Panchayat Yojana MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The selected unit was a Gram Panchayat, with one Panchayat linked to each Assembly constituency. All residents benefited through common services and durable public assets, so the scheme was area-based rather than an individual household cash transfer.

Statement 1 is correct because the scheme was implemented in Rajasthan on 4 February 2015. Statement 2 is incorrect: the selected Gram Panchayat was the unit, and residents benefited through common amenities, services and durable public assets rather than direct household cash.

The official progress position on 14 March 2016 was 196 constituencies with a selected Gram Panchayat and 4 constituencies still pending, out of 200. The related figures of 110 surveys and 80 development plans describe later implementation stages.

The Government identified ₹20 lakh per selected Gram Panchayat through the MGNREGA asset-creation/material component and a ₹50 crore provision for durable assets. The larger design was convergence-based, pooling existing Central and State schemes, local-area funds, corporate social responsibility funds and public participation.

The process began with selection of a Gram Panchayat, followed by a needs survey and preparation of its development plan. Funds from available sources were then converged, after which rural-development machinery executed priority works and recorded the resulting assets.
