RAS question
Under Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarojgar Yojana (MYSY) 2026 in Rajasthan, what is the target number of young people to receive new employment opportunities?
Correct answer: (C) 1 lakh.
Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarojgar Yojana 2026 in Rajasthan targets new employment opportunities for 1 lakh young people aged 18 to 45 years.
Explanation
The target is 1 lakh young people. The Rajasthan Economic Review says Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarojgar Yojana, released on 15 January 2026, is being implemented to provide new employment opportunities to young state residents aged 18 to 45 years. Its design links the employment target to self-employment support through financial institutions: interest-free loans, margin money assistance and reimbursement of CGTMSE fees. That is why option C is the precise answer. The other numbers are distractors because the scheme's stated objective is not a smaller pilot target such as 25,000 or 50,000, nor a larger target of 5 lakh; it is specifically 1 lakh eligible youth.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) 25,000 understates the target because the Economic Review states the scheme's objective as new employment opportunities for 1 lakh young people.
- (B) 50,000 is only half of the stated target, while the scheme is framed for 1 lakh youth aged 18 to 45.
- (D) 5 lakh overstates the target; the cited scheme passage fixes the beneficiary target at 1 lakh young people.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan economy questions on state employment and self-employment schemes announced or reported in official budget documents. RAS repeats such items because candidates must connect scheme names with their target groups, support instruments and stated beneficiary numbers.
