RAS question
BHAVYA stands for which of the following?
Correct answer: (A) Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna.
BHAVYA stands for Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna, a Cabinet-approved scheme for plug-and-play industrial development.
Explanation
BHAVYA expands to Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna. The Prime Minister of India source describes the Union Cabinet's approval of BHAVYA as a step towards plug-and-play industrial development, with the scheme aimed at developing industrial parks and strengthening manufacturing-led growth. This directly supports option A because the official title itself uses the words Bharat, Audyogik, Vikas and Yojna in that order. The other options replace the core term Audyogik with unrelated ideas such as Aatmanirbhar, Advanced Vyapar or Antarrashtriya, which are not the official expansion used in the Cabinet release.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) Bharat Aatmanirbhar Vikas Yojna is wrong because the cited Cabinet release names the scheme Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna, not Aatmanirbhar Vikas Yojna.
- (C) Bharat Advanced Vyapar Yojna is wrong because the official expansion is linked to industrial development through Audyogik Vikas, not to an Advanced Vyapar scheme.
- (D) Bharat Antarrashtriya Vikas Yojna is wrong because the Cabinet source does not use Antarrashtriya in the expansion of BHAVYA; it uses Audyogik.
Concept
This tests government schemes and acronyms under Indian Economy, especially industrial policy and manufacturing-led growth. RAS often asks such expansions because official scheme names are compact ways to test current economic initiatives.
