Q1. A mass-based organisation, MKSS, took the initiative in demanding records of famine relief work and accounts of labourers. This demand was first raised in which state?
A Bihar
B Odisha
C Uttar Pradesh
D Rajasthan Correct
Explanation
The Mazdoor Kisan Shakti Sangathan raised the demand for access to public records in Rajasthan, especially records of famine relief works, muster rolls and payments to labourers. This movement became a major foundation for the right to information campaign in India. Bihar, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh have their own histories of social movements, but the specific MKSS-led demand over relief-work records is associated with Rajasthan. The question is therefore pointing to the Rajasthan roots of the transparency and right to information movement.
