RAS question
How many MoUs were signed during the Pravasi Rajasthani Divas, totalling ₹1 lakh crore in investments?
Correct answer: (C) 421.
During Pravasi Rajasthani Divas 2025, Rajasthan was to announce Rs 1 lakh crore in grounded investments through 421 MoUs.
Explanation
The figure to remember is 421 MoUs. Rajasthan connected these MoUs with investments worth Rs 1 lakh crore during Pravasi Rajasthani Divas 2025. The sectors were broad, not confined to one department: energy, agriculture, tourism, education and skilling, health, mining and more. That is why the number is treated as a state-level investment milestone rather than a narrow sectoral statistic. For RAS Economy of Rajasthan, the key association is direct: Pravasi Rajasthani Divas 2025, Rs 1 lakh crore of grounded investment, and 421 MoUs.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 221 understates the MoU count; the Rs 1 lakh crore investment figure was tied to 421 MoUs.
- (B) 321 is short of the 421-MoU figure linked with Rs 1 lakh crore in grounded investments.
- (D) 521 overstates the count; Rajasthan's Rs 1 lakh crore investment milestone involved 421 MoUs.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's investment-promotion and industrial-development current affairs. Such figures recur in RAS because government MoUs, grounded investment, and sectoral policy announcements are often used to frame the state's economic priorities.
