Q1Consider the following statements about the authority behind government schemes in India: 1. Article 282 permits the Union or a State to make grants for any public purpose even outside the grantor's normal legislative field. 2. Every government scheme is backed by a separate Act. 3. A statutory entitlement gives an eligible citizen a stronger legal claim than a purely executive scheme. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Article 282 is the public-purpose grant route even beyond the grantor's normal legislative field. A statute can create a stronger claim and grievance route. Statement 2 is incorrect because many schemes are executive or guideline-based rather than founded on a separate Act.
Q2Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below. List I (Scheme) (a) PM-JANMAN (b) PM Vishwakarma (c) PM Surya Ghar (d) Unified Pension Scheme List II (Core identity) 1. Eligible central government employees under NPS 2. Traditional artisans and craftspeople in 18 trades 3. Residential rooftop solar for one crore households 4. Saturation of basic services for 75 PVTG communities
PM-JANMAN serves 75 PVTG communities through saturation of basic services; PM Vishwakarma covers artisans in 18 trades; PM Surya Ghar concerns residential rooftop solar for one crore households; and the Unified Pension Scheme is for eligible central government employees under NPS. Therefore, option B gives the correct matching.
Q3Arrange the following developments in chronological order, from earliest to latest: (a) PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana approved (b) PM-JANMAN, 2023 (c) Guide-upskilling scheme announced in the Union Budget 2026-27 (d) PM Surya Ghar received Cabinet approval Select the correct answer using the code given below.
PM-JANMAN belongs to 2023; PM Surya Ghar received Cabinet approval in February 2024; PM Dhan-Dhaanya was approved on 16 July 2025; and the guide-upskilling proposal appeared in the Union Budget 2026-27. Therefore option A is the correct chronology.
Q4Consider the following statements about the administrative classification of schemes: 1. PM Vishwakarma is a central sector scheme. 2. Every centrally sponsored scheme is fully funded by the Union Government. 3. The appearance of a Union ministry's name in a scheme means that States have no implementation role. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Only Statement 1 is correct. PM Vishwakarma is fully Union-funded as a central sector scheme. Centrally sponsored schemes normally use Union-State cost sharing and State or local implementation, so Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect.
Q5Consider the following statements about outputs and outcomes in scheme evaluation: 1. A tap connection is an output, while regular safe water supply is closer to an outcome. 2. A health card always proves that the intended hospital service has been accessed. 3. An internship opportunity and long-term employment are identical outcome indicators. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Only Statement 1 is correct. A connection or card is an immediate deliverable, whereas reliable service access is an outcome. A health card does not by itself prove hospital access, and an internship opportunity is not the same as long-term employment.
