RAS question
Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana provides:
Correct answer: (B) Health insurance up to ₹25 lakh.
Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana provides cashless health insurance of up to Rs.25 lakh per family per year in Rajasthan.
Explanation
Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana is a Rajasthan welfare scheme linked to health cover, not education, housing, or farm support. The Chiranjeevi scheme provides cashless health insurance up to Rs.25 lakh per family per year for Rajasthan families. The Rajasthan Budget Speech 2023-24 supports the same core point: under Mukhyamantri Chiranjeevi Swasthya Bima Yojana, the government announced an increase in the insurance amount from Rs.10 lakh to Rs.25 lakh per family per year. That makes option B the only option matching both the scheme's sector and its stated benefit ceiling.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Education is wrong because the scheme described in the Budget Speech is a medical-and-health insurance scheme, not an education benefit.
- (C) Housing is wrong because the stated benefit is cashless health insurance up to Rs.25 lakh per family per year, with no housing benefit in the Rajasthan Budget Speech 2023-24 extract.
- (D) Agricultural support is wrong because the scheme is framed under medical and health and concerns insurance for treatment, not farm assistance.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan welfare-scheme mapping, especially matching a flagship scheme to its sector and benefit ceiling. Such questions recur in RAS because state budgets and social-sector schemes are repeatedly used to test applied knowledge of Rajasthan economy and governance.
