Border Development MCQ — 3 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The Nation First Challenge under VVVP 2026 promotes five key themes: adoption of Swadeshi products healthy cooking practices public transport usage and fuel conservation promotion of natural farming and vocal support for local tourism. Statement 2 is incorrect because the programme is implemented in collaboration with the Indo Tibetan Border Police ITBP not the Border Security Force BSF since the deployment is in Ladakh Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand which are along the Indo Tibetan frontier.

Explanation

Both statements are correct. Home Minister Amit Shah launched VVP-2 on 26 May 2026 from the Indo-Pakistan border region near Bikaner covering 184 strategic villages across 5 Rajasthan border districts. Each village receives Rs 3 crore annual allocation. Sri Ganganagar tops with 68 villages, followed by Bikaner 46, Barmer 36, Jaisalmer 30 and Phalodi 4.

Explanation

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A. Assertion (A) is factually correct - VVP-2 covers 184 villages across Rajasthan's 5 border districts. Reason (R) is also true - VVP originally focused on the China border (2023) and Phase-2 extends to the Pakistan border. However, R explains the historical evolution and geographic extension, not WHY the specific number 184 or the specific districts were chosen, which depends on strategic vulnerability and border length. So R does not specifically explain A's numerical or geographic specifics.
