Q1Consider the following statements about the Rashtriya Gokul Mission: 1. The Nationwide Artificial Insemination Programme provides free doorstep artificial insemination in 605 districts where baseline coverage was below 50%. 2. Gau Chip is associated with cattle, while Mahish Chip is associated with buffalo genomic selection. 3. The 16 Gokul Grams continue as a component of the revised mission for 2021-22 to 2025-26. 4. Bharat Pashudhan is a digital livestock database. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 4 are correct. The nationwide programme provides free doorstep artificial insemination in 605 low-coverage districts; Gau Chip and Mahish Chip correspond to cattle and buffalo genomic selection; and Bharat Pashudhan is the digital livestock database. Statement 3 is false because the 16 Gokul Grams were discontinued in the revised mission. Thus exactly three statements are correct.
Q2Which statement correctly identifies the administrative nature and nodal department of the Rashtriya Gokul Mission?
Rashtriya Gokul Mission is implemented as a Central Sector scheme by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying. Its benefits are delivered through breeding services, infrastructure, technologies and component-specific support rather than a universal cash transfer.
Q3Consider the following statements about the March 2025 revision of the Rashtriya Gokul Mission: 1. It provides 35% one-time capital-cost assistance for 30 heifer-rearing housing facilities covering 15,000 heifers. 2. It provides 3% interest subvention on eligible farmer loans used to purchase high genetic merit in-vitro-fertilisation heifers. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Both statements reproduce the two new activities approved in March 2025. The first is 35% one-time capital-cost assistance for 30 facilities accommodating a total of 15,000 heifers. The second is 3% interest subvention on eligible loans taken to purchase high genetic merit in-vitro-fertilisation heifers. Hence both 1 and 2 are correct.
Q4What is the total approved outlay of the revised Rashtriya Gokul Mission for the 15th Finance Commission cycle from 2021-22 to 2025-26?
The mission was restructured in July 2021 with an allocation of ₹2,400 crore for 2021-22 to 2025-26. The Union Cabinet's March 2025 revision added ₹1,000 crore. Therefore, the approved total for the 15th Finance Commission cycle is ₹3,400 crore, making option B correct.
Q5Which one of the following statements about assistance under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission is incorrect?
The incorrect statement is option D because the approved one-time capital assistance for heifer-rearing centres is 35% of capital cost. The other figures are correctly paired: up to 50% of sex-sorted semen cost, 100% grant-in-aid for most components, and 3% interest subvention on eligible heifer-purchase loans.
