Q1Consider the following statements about Navjeevan Yojana: 1. The State-level Monitoring Committee is chaired by the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment and reviews implementation every 6 months. 2. The District Executive Committee is chaired by the District Collector and approves identification, education, training, infrastructure, loan and grant work. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment chairs the State-level Monitoring Committee, which reviews budget, expenditure, targets and implementation every 6 months. Statement 2 is also correct because the District Collector chairs the District Executive Committee and that body approves identification and the specified education, training, infrastructure, credit and grant activities.

Q2Under the 2015 guidelines of Navjeevan Yojana, what interest rate must a beneficiary pay on a loan above ₹2 lakh and up to ₹5 lakh?

A 1%
B 4%
C 2%
D The full bank rate with no departmental subsidy
Explanation

The 2015 slab structure makes the beneficiary pay 1% on loans up to ₹50,000, 2% above ₹50,000 and up to ₹2 lakh, and 4% above ₹2 lakh and up to ₹5 lakh. Only a loan above ₹5 lakh attracts the bank rate without departmental subsidy. Therefore, the specified loan falls squarely in the 4% slab.

Q3Which description most accurately identifies Navjeevan Yojana?

A A Rajasthan scheme for the rehabilitation and socio-economic advancement of people involved in liquor manufacture, storage or sale
B A Central scheme providing treatment for alcohol dependence in every district hospital
C A Rajasthan Police programme for training convicted liquor offenders in prisons
D A one-time unconditional cash grant for all rural households in Rajasthan
Explanation

Navjeevan Yojana is administered by Rajasthan's Social Justice and Empowerment Department. Its stated purpose is the rehabilitation and social-economic advancement of eligible people connected with liquor manufacture, storage or sale through livelihood and welfare support, so option A alone captures both the target group and the nature of the scheme.

Q4Match the expenditure heads of the district budget under the 2015 Navjeevan Yojana guidelines with their prescribed shares: List I: a. Survey, publicity and follow-up; b. Training and loan subsidy; c. Education; d. Infrastructure development List II: 1. 40%; 2. 15%; 3. 30%; 4. 15% Select the correctly matched sequence for a, b, c and d.

A a-3, b-2, c-4, d-1
B a-2, b-1, c-4, d-3
C a-1, b-3, c-2, d-4
D a-2, b-3, c-4, d-1
Explanation

The prescribed district pattern is 15% for survey, publicity and follow-up; 30% for training and loan subsidy; 15% for education; and 40% for infrastructure development. Thus a and c take the two separate 15% entries, b takes 30%, and d takes 40%. In the numbering provided, that produces a-2, b-3, c-4 and d-1.

Q5Which of the following statements about the expansion announced for Navjeevan Yojana in the Rajasthan Budget 2022-23 is incorrect?

A The scheme's coverage increased from 14 to 30 notified communities after 16 more communities were added.
B The additional provision proposed for upliftment and rehabilitation was ₹10 crore.
C The additional provision was linked to the inclusion and rehabilitation of deprived, nomadic and semi-nomadic communities.
D Communities named in the Budget proposal included Banjara, Kalbelia, Pardi and Sansi.
Explanation

Option B is the incorrect statement because the Rajasthan Budget 2022-23 proposed an additional ₹100 crore, not ₹10 crore, for the upliftment and rehabilitation of deprived, nomadic and semi-nomadic communities through their inclusion in Navjeevan Yojana. The expansion from 14 to 30 communities and the named examples in the other options are consistent with that announcement.
