Q1Which age group is eligible to apply for free skill training under PM-DAKSH Yojana?

A 18-45 years
B 16-35 years
C 21-50 years
D 25-60 years
Explanation

PM-DAKSH invites eligible candidates in the 18-45 year age group for free skill-development training. Therefore, option A reproduces both the correct minimum age of 18 and the correct maximum age of 45.

Q2Which option correctly matches the earlier implementing corporation with its principal PM-DAKSH beneficiary group?

A NSFDC — OBC, EWS and DNT beneficiaries
B NBCFDC — Safai Karamcharis
C NSKFDC — Scheduled Caste beneficiaries generally
D NSKFDC — Safai Karamcharis
Explanation

Under the earlier corporation-based implementation, NSFDC served Scheduled Caste beneficiaries, NBCFDC served OBC, EWS and DNT beneficiaries, and NSKFDC served Safai Karamcharis. Thus only option D gives the correct corporation-group pair.

Q3What was the approved budget outlay for continuing PM-DAKSH during 2021-22 to 2025-26?

A ₹130 crore
B ₹450.25 crore
C ₹2,710 crore
D ₹1,552.08 crore
Explanation

The approved continuation of PM-DAKSH for 2021-22 through 2025-26 carried a budget outlay of ₹450.25 crore and a target of about 2.71 lakh beneficiaries. The separate ₹130 crore figure relates only to the 2025-26 Budget Estimate.

Q4Consider the following statements about PM-DAKSH: 1. Its original structure included up-skilling or re-skilling, short-term training, long-term training and entrepreneurship development. 2. From 2024-25 onward, PM-DAKSH was merged with PMKVY for training implementation. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

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

Statement 1 correctly lists the four original PM-DAKSH interventions: up-skilling or re-skilling, short-term training, long-term training and entrepreneurship development. Statement 2 is also correct because official information records its merger with PMKVY from 2024-25 onward.

Q5Which one of the following statements about income eligibility under PM-DAKSH is incorrect?

A OBC candidates must have annual family income below ₹3,00,000.
B EWS candidates must have annual family income below ₹3,00,000.
C SC candidates must have annual family income below ₹3,00,000.
D DNT and Safai Mitra candidates have no income limit.
Explanation

The ₹3,00,000 annual family-income ceiling applies to OBC and EWS candidates. SC, DNT and Safai Mitra or waste-picker candidates are not subject to an income limit. Hence imposing that ceiling on SC candidates makes option C incorrect.
