Practice questions

Q1Where was Swami Keshavananda, a famous educationist saint, born?

A Banasur Village
B Mangloona Village
C Harnawa Village
D Rampura Beri
Explanation

Swami Keshavananda is remembered as a saint, social reformer and educationist, and his birthplace is Mangloona village. That is why Mangloona Village matches the published key. Banasur Village is not associated with his birth in standard Rajasthan GK references. Harnawa Village is known in Rajasthan history for other personalities and local references, not for Swami Keshavananda's birth. Rampura Beri is also not the birthplace asked in this question.

Q2Who among the following was awarded the Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India in 1956 for her active participation in Bhoodan and Koop Daan programmes?

A Ratan Shastri
B Anjana Devi Choudhary
C Janki Devi Bajaj
D Narayani Devi Varma
Explanation

Janki Devi Bajaj is the correct answer because she was a noted Gandhian social worker and was honoured with the Padma Vibhushan in 1956. Her public work is linked with Bhoodan and Koop Daan activities. Ratan Shastri is remembered for education and the Vanasthali movement. Anjana Devi Choudhary was active in the freedom struggle and women's awakening in Rajasthan. Narayani Devi Varma also worked in nationalist and social movements, but the 1956 Padma Vibhushan reference in this question points to Janki Devi Bajaj.
