RAS question

Amrit Kaal refers to the period:

Correct answer: (A) 2022 to 2047 (25 years from 75th Independence to 100th).

Amrit Kaal refers to the 25-year period from India's 75th year of Independence in 2022 to India@100 in 2047.

  1. (A)

    2022 to 2047 (25 years from 75th Independence to 100th)

  2. (B)

    2020 to 2030

  3. (C)

    2015 to 2030

  4. (D)

    2030 to 2050

Explanation

Amrit Kaal is the 25-year lead-up from India at 75 to India at 100, so its period is 2022 to 2047. The Union Budget 2022-23 speech states that India had entered Amrit Kaal and describes it as the 25-year-long lead-up to India@100. It also says the Budget lays the foundation and blueprint to steer the economy over the next 25 years, from India at 75 to India at 100. This is why option A is correct. The same Budget framing links Amrit Kaal to a future-oriented and inclusive economic track, with priorities such as inclusive development, productivity enhancement, investment, energy transition and climate action.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (B) 2020 to 2030 is only a decade and does not match the Budget speech's 25-year framing from India at 75 to India at 100.
  • (C) 2015 to 2030 is the SDG period mentioned in the question data, whereas Amrit Kaal starts from India's 75th year of Independence.
  • (D) 2030 to 2050 starts too late because Amrit Kaal begins in 2022, when India enters the 25-year lead-up to India@100.

Concept

This tests Budget terminology within Indian Economy: aspirants must connect official fiscal-policy language with its exact time horizon. It recurs in RAS because Budget themes such as inclusive development, productivity and energy transition often anchor current-economy questions.
