RAS question
Rajasthan Udyog Mitra provides:
Correct answer: (B) Online platform for industrial approvals and investor facilitation.
Rajasthan Udyog Mitra provides an online platform for industrial approvals and investor facilitation in Rajasthan.
Explanation
Rajasthan Udyog Mitra is best understood as an online facilitation platform for enterprises, not as a sectoral welfare service. It provides single-window clearance for industrial approvals, investor queries and application-status tracking. The official Raj Udyog Mitra page directs enterprises to apply online through the portal, receive a computer-generated acknowledgement certificate, verify certificate details, and submit grievances or queries online to the State Level Nodal Agency, the Bureau of Investment Promotion. It also explains that the platform is tied to exemptions from approvals and inspections under Rajasthan law for eligible enterprises. Therefore, the option describing an online platform for industrial approvals and investor facilitation captures the function of Rajasthan Udyog Mitra.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Agriculture alone is too narrow because the platform is for enterprises seeking industrial approval-related facilitation, declarations, certificates and investor support.
- (C) Health services are not the stated purpose; the portal deals with enterprise facilitation, approvals or exemptions, queries and acknowledgement certificates.
- (D) Education services do not match the portal’s role, which is linked to industrial and MSME facilitation rather than schooling or higher education delivery.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan economy governance, especially single-window and investor-facilitation mechanisms. RAS repeats such portals because they connect industrial policy, ease of doing business and state-level implementation machinery.
