RAS question
The Rajasthan Guaranteed Delivery of Public Services Act was enacted in:
Correct answer: (C) 2011.
The Rajasthan Guaranteed Delivery of Public Services Act was enacted in 2011.
Explanation
India Code lists the law as The Rajasthan Guaranteed Delivery of Public Services Act, 2011, with Act Year 2011 and enactment date 21 September 2011. Its long title says it provides for delivery of certain services to the people of Rajasthan by public authorities within stipulated time limits. That matches the core point in the explanation: the Act is about time-bound delivery of specified public services to citizens. Therefore, among the four years given, 2011 is the only year supported by the official record and by the purpose of the statute itself.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 2008 is too early, because the official India Code record gives the Act Year as 2011.
- (B) 2017 does not match the statute's official Act Year; India Code identifies the Act as a 2011 law.
- (D) 2014 is not supported by the official record, which lists both the short title and Act Year as 2011.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan administrative reforms, especially statutory guarantees for public service delivery. It recurs in RAS because time-bound service delivery links governance, citizen charters, accountability and grievance redressal.
