RAS question

How many industrial parks will be developed under the BHAVYA scheme?

Correct answer: (C) 100.

The BHAVYA scheme provides for the development of 100 plug-and-play industrial parks across States and UTs.

  1. (A)

    50

  2. (B)

    75

  3. (C)

    100

  4. (D)

    150

Explanation

BHAVYA, or Bharat Audyogik Vikas Yojna, is framed as a scheme to develop industrial parks with plug-and-play facilities. The official guidelines define such an industrial park as a planned and professionally managed area where manufacturing allottees can begin operations without delay. In the Scope section, the guidelines state that financial assistance will be provided for development of 100 industrial parks. This is why 100 is the total scheme target. The same section also says the parks will be selected in two or more phases and that 50 projects will be taken up in the first phase, so 50 is only a phase count, not the overall answer.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 50 is the number of projects to be taken up in the first phase, whereas the scheme target is 100 industrial parks in all.
  • (B) 75 does not match the official scheme scope, which fixes the total financial-assistance target at 100 industrial parks.
  • (D) 150 overstates the notified scope because the guidelines provide for development of 100 industrial parks, not 150.

Concept

This tests government industrial-policy schemes and their numerical targets. RAS often asks such figures because they connect economic planning, manufacturing promotion and current policy announcements.
