Governance MCQ — 3 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

All three statements are correct. The Rozgar Mela initiative was launched by PM Modi in October 2022. In the 19th edition on 23 May 2026, over 50 per cent of the more than 51,000 appointment letters were issued to candidates joining the Indian Railways for modernisation, station upgradation and Vande Bharat-linked roles. New recruits undergo competency-based orientation and role-based learning on the Karmayogi Bharat (iGOT Karmayogi) platform under the Mission Karmayogi capacity building reform launched in September 2020.

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The Punjab Cabinet on 30 May 2026 approved the regularisation of more than 65,000 outsourced and contractual employees and cleared the Punjab State Outsourced Personnel (Transition to Contractual Engagement) Bill 2026. Statement 2 is wrong: Group C and Group D outsourced employees become eligible only after 5 years of continuous service (3 years for hazardous categories).

Explanation

Only statement 2 is correct. The Punjab Cabinet on 30 May 2026 actually repealed the Punjab Adhoc, Contractual, Daily Wage, Temporary, Work Charged and Outsourced Employees Welfare Act 2016, not retained it; so statement 1 is false. Statement 2 is correct: hazardous category workers such as firefighters, sewer workers and electricity linemen become eligible after 3 years (instead of 5 years for general categories).
