Q1Consider the following statements about the Mukhyamantri Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme: 1. A registered household must be provided work within 15 days of applying after exhausting its MGNREGA days. 2. If work is not provided within that period, the State Government must pay an unemployment allowance. Which option is correct?

A Only statement 1 is correct
B Only statement 2 is correct
C Both statements 1 and 2 are correct
D Neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct
Explanation

Both statements describe the guarantee mechanism accurately. Once an eligible registered household has exhausted its MGNREGA days and demands work, employment must be provided within 15 days. Failure to do so creates an entitlement to unemployment allowance from the State Government; therefore C is the only complete answer.

Q2Match List I with List II and select the correct code. List I: 1. Ordinary rural household; 2. Sahariya and Khairua families; 3. Kathodi tribal families; 4. Specially abled workers. List II: P. Baran district and 100 additional state-funded days; Q. Udaipur district and 100 additional state-funded days; R. At least 25 additional state-funded days; S. 100 additional state-funded days without a district condition in the listed category.

A 1-P, 2-R, 3-S, 4-Q
B 1-R, 2-Q, 3-P, 4-S
C 1-S, 2-P, 3-Q, 4-R
D 1-R, 2-P, 3-Q, 4-S
Explanation

The ordinary household matches R because it receives at least 25 additional days. Sahariya and Khairua families are the named Baran categories, so 2-P. Kathodi tribal families are linked to Udaipur, so 3-Q. Specially abled workers receive 100 additional days as a listed category without that district qualifier, so 4-S. Thus D is correct.

Q3After completing the 100 workdays available under MGNREGA, what is the minimum total annual employment entitlement of an ordinary eligible rural household in Rajasthan when the state guarantee is included?

A 125 days
B 100 days
C 150 days
D 200 days
Explanation

An ordinary eligible household first completes the 100 MGNREGA workdays and then has a statutory right to at least 25 additional state-funded days. Adding these components gives a minimum annual entitlement of 125 days, so option A is correct.

Q4Which option correctly describes the financial responsibility under the Mukhyamantri Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme?

A Both labour and material costs are paid entirely from the central MGNREGA fund
B Labour cost is borne from the state scheme budget, while material cost is arranged through convergence with other sources
C Material cost is state-funded, but workers must bear the labour cost
D Every project must be financed only through private contribution
Explanation

The scheme separates the two cost components. Wages and other labour cost for the additional employment are paid from the state-funded scheme budget. Material cost is excluded from that budget and must be met through convergence with rural-development, panchayati-raj or other permitted sources. Hence B is correct.

Q5Which of the following statements about the legal basis and institutional design of the Mukhyamantri Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme is incorrect?

A It is a discretionary cash-transfer programme with no statutory employment entitlement
B It is backed by the Rajasthan Minimum Guaranteed Income Act, 2023
C The Act draws on the Directive Principles in Articles 39(a), 41 and 43 of the Constitution
D The nodal department is the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Department of Rajasthan
Explanation

Option A is incorrect because the programme is a demand-based wage-employment guarantee, not a discretionary cash transfer. The Rajasthan Minimum Guaranteed Income Act, 2023 creates the statutory entitlement, draws on Articles 39(a), 41 and 43, and places the rural scheme under the Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Department. Therefore B, C and D are correct statements.
