RAS question
The Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 attracted MoUs worth approximately:
Correct answer: (A) ₹35 lakh crore.
The Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 attracted MoUs worth approximately ₹35 lakh crore.
Explanation
The figure to remember is ₹35 lakh crore. Rajasthan's Economic Review 2024-25 describes the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024 as a major investment-promotion event for the state. The summit saw participation by over 5,000 delegates, and the official review states that the event facilitated MoUs worth ₹35 lakh crore. That is why option A is the closest and correct approximation. The number is not a general budget figure or an expenditure figure; it refers specifically to investment commitments recorded through MoUs at the summit, making it a key current-economy fact for Rajasthan.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) ₹20 lakh crore understates the official MoU figure, which is approximately ₹35 lakh crore.
- (C) ₹50 lakh crore overstates the official MoU figure and does not match the cited Economic Review value.
- (D) ₹10 lakh crore is far below the MoU value stated for the summit and misses the scale of the investment commitments.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan economy, especially investment promotion and industrial development through state-led summits. Such figures recur in RAS because they connect current state policy with measurable economic commitments.
