RAS question
The Rajasthan government's 10 Sankalps include all EXCEPT:
Correct answer: (C) Nuclear weapons development.
Nuclear weapons development is not included in Rajasthan's 10 Sankalps; the Sankalps cover state development priorities such as a $350 billion economy, infrastructure, tourism, social security and good governance.
Explanation
Rajasthan's 10 Sankalps are framed as a state-level agenda for holistic and inclusive development under Viksit Rajasthan @2047. The Economic Review 2024-25 lists them around socio-economic priorities: creating a $350 billion economy, infrastructure development, quality of life and civic amenities, agriculture growth and farmers' welfare, industrial development and investment promotion, tourism, art and culture promotion, sustainable development and green growth, human resource development and health for all, social security and good governance. Nuclear weapons development does not appear in this list and is a central government matter rather than a Rajasthan state development Sankalp. That makes option C the only exception.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) The $350 billion economy goal is expressly named in the 10 Sankalps and is discussed as a core state development target.
- (B) Infrastructure development is one of the listed Sankalps, with the Economic Review treating it as part of Rajasthan's development agenda.
- (D) Tourism, art and culture promotion is explicitly included among the 10 Sankalps and is also a thematic area in the Economic Review.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan economy and budget-document awareness, especially the state's medium-term development priorities under Viksit Rajasthan @2047. Such lists recur in RAS because they link policy terminology with official state planning documents.
