RAS question
GOBAR-dhan projects 2024-25:
Correct answer: (C) 11 projects.
In Rajasthan, 11 Gobar-dhan projects had been established in 2024-25 up to December 2024.
Explanation
Rajasthan Economic Review 2024-25 places the Gobar-dhan Project under Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin). Its stated objective is to create income sources by cleaning villages of animal dung and organic waste, while producing energy and manure. The review also says that one model Gobar-dhan project is being established in each district. For the specific year asked in the MCQ, however, the reported achievement is not a target or a district-wise promise: in 2024-25, a total of 11 Gobar-dhan projects had been established up to December 2024. That is why option C is the factual answer.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Five is too low because the Economic Review reports 11 Gobar-dhan projects established in 2024-25 up to December 2024.
- (B) Twenty is not supported by the source; the reviewed achievement for 2024-25 is 11 projects, not 20.
- (D) Fifty confuses a larger possible district-wise framing with the reported achievement, which is 11 established projects up to December 2024.
Concept
This tests Economy of Rajasthan through current State-scheme implementation figures, especially rural sanitation and waste-management initiatives. It recurs in RAS because official-review numbers often distinguish an announced model-project framework from the actual progress reported for the year.
