RAS question

Consider the following statements regarding the Gram Vikas Yatra of the Rajasthan government:\n1. It is an outreach campaign in which public representatives visit villages to identify local problems.\n2. It serves as a precursor to the Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet, GRAM 2026, to be held in Jaipur.\nWhich of the statements given above is/are correct?

Correct answer: (C) Both 1 and 2.

Rajasthan's Gram Vikas Yatra is a village outreach programme for identifying local problems and is also being conducted as preparation for GRAM 2026 in Jaipur.

  1. (A)

    1 only

  2. (B)

    2 only

  3. (C)

    Both 1 and 2

  4. (D)

    Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are correct. The cited report says the Rajasthan government is engaging with villagers through the Gram Vikas Yatra to understand ground-level issues and strengthen rural development. It also records Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma saying that representatives, including current and former MLAs, MPs and party workers, are visiting villages to understand local challenges first-hand. That directly supports statement 1. The same report links the yatra to preparations for the Rajasthan Global Agri-Tech Meet, or GRAM, scheduled for 23 to 25 May. The official GRAM 2026 page identifies the event as the Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet organised by the Government of Rajasthan at JECC, Jaipur. That supports statement 2 as well, so the answer is both 1 and 2.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Option A accepts the outreach nature of Gram Vikas Yatra but wrongly leaves out its stated link with preparations for GRAM 2026 in Jaipur.
  • (B) Option B accepts the GRAM 2026 preparation link but wrongly rejects the village outreach component, which the report describes through visits by public representatives to understand local challenges.
  • (D) Option D is untenable because the cited material supports both the local-problem-identification outreach role and the preparatory connection with GRAM 2026.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan government initiatives in the rural economy and agriculture-linked outreach. Such questions recur in RAS because state schemes and flagship events often connect governance, rural development and agricultural investment.
