RAS question

In which SDG did Rajasthan achieve a perfect score of 100?

Correct answer: (C) SDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy.

Rajasthan achieved a perfect score of 100 in SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy, in the SDGs India Index 2023-24.

  1. (A)

    SDG 1 - No Poverty

  2. (B)

    SDG 4 - Quality Education

  3. (C)

    SDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy

  4. (D)

    SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption

Explanation

Rajasthan's perfect score was in SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy. The Economic Review 2025-26 states that, according to the SDG India Index, Rajasthan improved its overall SDG score from 60 in 2020-21 to 67 in 2023-24 and moved from the Performer category to the Front-Runner category. Within that wider improvement, the Review singles out SDG 7 as the goal where the state achieved a perfect score of 100. It then mentions Goal 1, No Poverty, and Goal 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, as notable achievements, but not as perfect-score goals. That wording makes SDG 7 the only option among the four that matches the asked 100 score.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) SDG 1, No Poverty, is mentioned as a notable achievement, but its score improved to 82, not 100.
  • (B) SDG 4, Quality Education, appears in the broader SDG framework, but the Economic Review 2025-26 does not identify it as Rajasthan's perfect-score goal.
  • (D) SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, is described as a notable achievement, but it did not reach a perfect 100.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's performance in the SDG India Index, a recurring RAS economy theme because state development indicators link governance, planning and current economic review data. Such questions often ask candidates to separate the headline composite score from goal-wise standout performance.
