Sahyog Evam Uphar Yojana MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The official FAQ records the launch in April 2005. The benefit slabs were revised on 29 April 2020, the scheme was renamed Mukhyamantri Kanyadan Yojana on 12 October 2020, and orphan girls whose parents had both died were added on 11 June 2021. Thus the order is 4-2-3-1.

The incorrect statement is D. The scheme is financed entirely through the Rajasthan state budget, with no central share or beneficiary contribution. Its revised filing window runs from 1 month before the marriage date until 6 months after marriage, so statements A, B and C are correct.

Statements 1 and 2 are correct: the bride must have completed 18 years, and assistance covers at most 2 eligible daughters in a family. Statement 3 is incorrect because the benefit is a one-time marriage-assistance grant, not a pension or recurring monthly transfer.

The Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Government of Rajasthan, is the nodal department. It administers the scheme through the Social Justice Management System; the grant is funded entirely from the Rajasthan state budget rather than by a Union ministry.

Eligible Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and minority BPL families fall in the higher benefit slab. Its base grant is ₹31,000, and a graduate bride receives an additional ₹20,000 education incentive. Therefore, the total payable amount is ₹51,000.
