Practice questions
Q1Consider the following statements about the authority behind government schemes in India: 1. Article 282 permits the Union or a State to make grants for any public purpose even outside the grantor's normal legislative field. 2. Every government scheme is backed by a separate Act. 3. A statutory entitlement gives an eligible citizen a stronger legal claim than a purely executive scheme. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Article 282 is the public-purpose grant route even beyond the grantor's normal legislative field. A statute can create a stronger claim and grievance route. Statement 2 is incorrect because many schemes are executive or guideline-based rather than founded on a separate Act.
Q2Consider the following statements about outputs and outcomes in scheme evaluation: 1. A tap connection is an output, while regular safe water supply is closer to an outcome. 2. A health card always proves that the intended hospital service has been accessed. 3. An internship opportunity and long-term employment are identical outcome indicators. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Only Statement 1 is correct. A connection or card is an immediate deliverable, whereas reliable service access is an outcome. A health card does not by itself prove hospital access, and an internship opportunity is not the same as long-term employment.
Q3Consider the following statements about Aadhaar and welfare delivery: 1. The Supreme Court upheld Aadhaar use for subsidies, benefits and services under Section 7 of the Aadhaar Act, subject to limits. 2. The judgment permitted compulsory Aadhaar use for all private transactions and services. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect. The 2018 judgment upheld Section 7 welfare use with limits but restricted wider compulsory uses; it did not authorise a blanket mandate for all private transactions.
Q4Arrange the following stages of a government scheme's expenditure route in the correct sequence: (a) Administrative approval and expenditure sanction (b) Fund release (c) Cabinet or Budget announcement (d) Utilisation certificate and scheme-specific review Select the correct answer using the code given below.
The route begins with a Cabinet or Budget announcement, followed by administrative approval and expenditure sanction, then fund release, and finally the utilisation certificate and scheme-specific review. Thus option D gives the correct sequence.
Q5Consider the following statements about the administrative classification of schemes: 1. PM Vishwakarma is a central sector scheme. 2. Every centrally sponsored scheme is fully funded by the Union Government. 3. The appearance of a Union ministry's name in a scheme means that States have no implementation role. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Only Statement 1 is correct. PM Vishwakarma is fully Union-funded as a central sector scheme. Centrally sponsored schemes normally use Union-State cost sharing and State or local implementation, so Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect.
