Practice questions

Q1On which dates were the pilot phase and the nationwide phase of SVAMITVA launched, respectively?

A 24 April 2020 and 24 April 2021

B 2 October 2020 and 2 October 2021

C 24 April 2021 and 24 April 2020

D 26 January 2020 and 15 August 2021

Explanation

The pilot phase began on 24 April 2020, National Panchayati Raj Day, in 9 states including Rajasthan. After that pilot, SVAMITVA was launched nationwide on the next National Panchayati Raj Day, 24 April 2021. The order of the two dates is therefore essential.

Q2Which ministry is the nodal ministry for the SVAMITVA Central Sector Scheme?

A Ministry of Panchayati Raj

B Ministry of Rural Development

C Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs

D Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare

Explanation

SVAMITVA is a Central Sector Scheme of the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, which is its nodal ministry. State Revenue or Land Records Departments lead implementation within states, but that state-level role does not alter the Union nodal ministry.

Q3Which one of the following correctly describes a direct use of SVAMITVA survey maps by Gram Panchayats?

A Fixing minimum support prices for crops

B Issuing passports to village residents

C Determining parliamentary constituency boundaries

D Assessing property tax and preparing evidence-based village development plans

Explanation

SVAMITVA provides Gram Panchayats with accurate base maps of inhabited areas. Those maps support property-tax assessment, strengthen local revenue and supply reliable spatial evidence for village development planning. Crop pricing, passports and parliamentary delimitation lie outside this map-use chain.

Q4Match List I with List II and select the correctly matched set. List I (technical feature): 1. Map scale; 2. Positional accuracy; 3. Drone-mapping indicative rate; 4. Reference-station indicative rate. List II (value): P. 1:500; Q. about ±5 cm; R. ₹6,000 per village; S. about ₹24 lakh per station.

A 1-Q, 2-P, 3-S, 4-R

B 1-P, 2-R, 3-Q, 4-S

C 1-P, 2-Q, 3-R, 4-S

D 1-S, 2-R, 3-P, 4-Q

Explanation

The maps are produced at a 1:500 scale with positional accuracy of about ±5 cm. The framework separately assigns an indicative ₹6,000 per village for drone-based large-scale mapping and about ₹24 lakh for each reference station. Thus 1-P, 2-Q, 3-R and 4-S is the only complete match.

Q5Consider the following statements about institutional roles under SVAMITVA: 1. Survey of India is the technology implementation partner for drone surveys and map generation. 2. The State Revenue Department issues the final property cards after verification and resolution of objections. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B Both 1 and 2

C 2 only

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are correct. Survey of India supplies the drone-survey and map-generation capability. After ground verification and disposal of objections, the competent State Revenue Department issues the final property card; the two bodies therefore perform distinct, sequential roles.
