Q1What is the correct approved investment split of ₹20,050 crore under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana?
The approved investment is ₹20,050 crore, comprising a Central share of ₹9,407 crore, a State share of ₹4,880 crore and beneficiary contribution of ₹5,763 crore. These three components add exactly to the approved total, while the other options either interchange components or use unrelated review figures.
Q2Consider the following statements about the funding pattern of the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana: 1. Central Sector activities are funded entirely by the Union Government. 2. Direct beneficiary activities provide assistance up to 40% of unit cost for general beneficiaries and 60% for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women. 3. For non-beneficiary activities under the Centrally Sponsored component, the Centre-State ratio for other States is 90:10. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because Central Sector activities receive 100% Central funding. Statement 2 is also correct: assistance is capped at 40% for general beneficiaries and 60% for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women. Statement 3 is false because other States use a 60:40 Centre-State ratio; 90:10 applies to North Eastern and Himalayan States.
Q3Which one of the following activity–unit cost–maximum assistance pairs is incorrectly matched under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana?
The freshwater finfish hatchery has a unit-cost norm of ₹25 lakh, but assistance for a general beneficiary is capped at 40%, or ₹10 lakh, not ₹12.50 lakh. The other pairs correctly apply the respective 40% or 60% assistance rate to the stated unit cost, making option C the incorrectly matched pair.
Q4Consider the following statements about land and project support under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana: 1. Central assistance is not provided for purchasing land. 2. Leased land for an infrastructure project requires a registered lease of at least 10 years. 3. Leased land for a non-infrastructure project requires a registered lease of at least 7 years. 4. An applicant may seek support for more than one project in the same application cycle. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct: land purchase receives no Central assistance, while leased land needs a registered lease of at least 10 years for infrastructure and 7 years for non-infrastructure projects. Statement 4 is false because an applicant may apply for only one project. Thus exactly three statements are correct.
Q5Which institution and date are correctly associated with the formal launch of the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana?
PMMSY was formally launched on 10 September 2020 by the Department of Fisheries under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying. The other dates refer either to later initiatives or to no launch event of this scheme, so option B alone gives both the correct authority and date.
