Puttaswamy privacy judgment (c) Olga Tellis v. Bombay Municipal Corporation (d) Chameli Singh v. State of Uttar Pradesh Select the correct answer using the code given below.
The sequence is Olga Tellis (1985), Unni Krishnan (1993), Chameli Singh (1996) and the Puttaswamy privacy judgment (2017). Thus, the correct order is c-a-d-b.
Q2With reference to the National Food Security Act, 2013, consider the following statements: Statement-I: It covers up to 75% of the rural population and 50% of the urban population under priority households and Antyodaya Anna Yojana. Statement-II: Antyodaya Anna Yojana households receive 35 kg per family per month, while priority households receive 5 kg per person per month. Which one of the following is correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Both statements are correct. The Act sets coverage ceilings of 75% for the rural population and 50% for the urban population. Within its entitlement structure, Antyodaya Anna Yojana households receive 35 kg per family per month, while priority households receive 5 kg per person per month.
Q3With reference to the classification of government schemes, consider the following statements: 1. PM-KISAN is a Central Sector Scheme that is fully funded by the Union. 2. MGNREGA and the National Food Security Act create statutory entitlements. 3. A fully Union-funded scheme necessarily excludes the States from beneficiary identification and field execution. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. PM-KISAN is fully Union-funded, while MGNREGA and the National Food Security Act are Act-backed entitlements. Statement 3 is incorrect because even a fully Union-funded scheme may depend on States for identifying beneficiaries, local verification and field execution.
Q4In evaluating the outcomes of flagship programmes, consider the following statements: 1. Opening a bank account is not equivalent to ensuring its active use. 2. Installing a household tap is not equivalent to ensuring regular and safe water supply. 3. Hospitalisation assurance by itself replaces the need for primary healthcare and nutrition interventions. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 correctly distinguish outputs from outcomes: an opened account must be actively used, and a tap connection must provide regular, potable water. Statement 3 is incorrect because hospitalisation assurance does not replace primary healthcare, public-health functions or nutrition interventions.
Q5Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below. List I (Programme) (a) Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (b) Jal Jeevan Mission (c) Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY (d) MGNREGA List II (Core mechanism) 1. Demand-based wage employment guarantee for rural households 2. Basic accounts and access to remittance, credit, insurance and pension 3. Hospitalisation assurance through empanelled providers 4. Rural household tap connections with source sustainability
The correct matching is a-2, b-4, c-3 and d-1. PMJDY provides the financial-inclusion service basket; JJM links rural taps with source sustainability; PM-JAY provides hospitalisation assurance through empanelled providers; and MGNREGA guarantees demand-based rural wage employment.
