Q2Which department exercises administrative control over Rajasthan's Residential School Scheme?

A Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Government of Rajasthan

B School Education Department, Government of Rajasthan

C Tribal Area Development Department, Government of Rajasthan

D Department of Women and Child Development, Government of Rajasthan

Explanation

The Social Justice and Empowerment Department of the Government of Rajasthan has administrative control of the scheme. The Rajasthan Residential Educational Institutions Society handles implementation, so the implementing society should not be confused with a different nodal department.

Q3Under the 2022 order, what is the mess allowance per student per month in Rajasthan's residential schools?

A ₹2,000

B ₹2,500

C ₹5,000

D ₹25,000

Explanation

The 2022 order increased the monthly mess allowance from ₹2,000 to ₹2,500 per student. At ₹2,500 for each of 10 months, the session ceiling becomes ₹25,000 per student; thus the monthly rate and the session ceiling are distinct figures.

Q4Which option correctly describes the nature and coverage of benefits under Rajasthan's Residential School Scheme?

A It provides in-kind residential support, including free schooling, accommodation, food, clothing, books, stationery and medical care.

B It is primarily a monthly cash-transfer scheme for students living at home.

C It covers tuition only; accommodation, food and medical care must be paid by the family.

D It gives free accommodation only to Classes 1 to 5 and excludes educational materials.

Explanation

The scheme is an institutional, in-kind education programme rather than a cash transfer. A student receives free education and residence together with meals, clothing or uniform, textbooks, stationery and medical care; additional campus facilities include bedding and routine personal-care support.

Q5Consider the following statements about reservation in Rajasthan's residential schools: 1. Non-tribal-area schools reserve 60% of seats for Scheduled Castes. 2. Tribal-area schools reserve 60% of seats for Scheduled Tribes. 3. Devnarayan schools reserve 60% of seats for Special Backward Classes. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only

B 2 and 3 only

C 1, 2 and 3

D 1 and 3 only

Explanation

All three statements reproduce the school-type reservation pattern: non-tribal schools are Scheduled-Caste-led at 60%, tribal-area schools are Scheduled-Tribe-led at 60%, and Devnarayan schools are Special-Backward-Class-led at 60%. Hence no statement must be excluded.
