The main goal of Rajasthan Forest Policy-2023 is to bring 20 percent of the total geographical area of ​​the state under green and vegetative cover in the next 20 years. Under the National Forest Policy 1988, the national standard of 33% forest area is set, but keeping in mind the dry and uneven geographical conditions of Rajasthan, the state has set a practical target of 20%. Under this, emphasis has been laid on large-scale intensive tree plantation, prevention of desertification, pasture development and biodiversity conservation. Option A (15%) and option C (25%) are imaginary figures, while option D (33%) is the standard of the National Forest Policy, hence the correct answer is option B.

Under the Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana, families who are not included in the eligible free categories like NFSA, SECC, small and marginal farmers, contract workers or Covid orphans, can register under the scheme by depositing an annual premium of ₹ 850 per family. The state government is providing Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through this scheme, with the remaining premium being borne by the state government. Option A (₹500), Option B (₹750) and Option D (₹1,000) are incorrect rates, as the rate of premium prescribed by the Government of Rajasthan for non-eligible general families is only ₹850 per annum.

According to advance estimates of Economic Review of Rajasthan 2025-26, the contribution of service sector in the Gross State Value Added (GSVA) ​​of the state at current prices is the highest at 47.71 percent. In contrast, the contribution of agriculture sector has been recorded at 25.74 percent (option A) and the contribution of industry sector has been recorded at 26.55 percent (option B). Option C (35.02%) is part of the construction sub-sector under the industry sector. Within the services sector, it remains the largest productive component of the state's economy due to the rapid growth of trade, hotels, transport, real estate and financial services.

According to Agricultural Census 2015-16, the total number of operating holdings in Rajasthan is 76.55 lakh, which shows an increase of 11.14 percent as compared to 2010-11 (68.88 lakh) (Statements A and B are correct). With this the number of women landholders increased from 5.46 lakh to 7.75 lakh, which is a significant increase of 41.94% (Statement C is correct). However, the area of ​​women holdings has increased from 13.30 lakh hectares to 16.55 lakh hectares, which is an increase of 24.44% and not more than 50% (Statement D is incorrect). Hence the correct option is A.

Under Mukhyamantri Beej Swavalamban Yojana, not only three crops but 10 major crops like wheat, barley, gram, mustard, jowar, soybean, moong, moth, groundnut and urad are included, hence option D is wrong (false statement). This scheme was formally launched in the year 2017 with the aim of making farmers self-reliant in the production of certified and improved seeds. It was initially implemented as a pilot project in 3 agro-climatic blocks of the state (Kota, Bhilwara, Udaipur), which was later expanded to all 10 agro-climatic blocks of the state.

Under the Govardhan Organic Fertilizer Scheme, the state government provides financial assistance of ₹ 10,000 per farmer to encourage organic farming and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers. This assistance is given to farmers to set up vermicompost units and organic manure manufacturing structures on their farms. This increases the fertility of the land and reduces the costs of farmers. Option A (₹5,000), Option C (₹15,000) and Option D (₹20,000) are not standard financial provisions prescribed under the scheme.

Rajasthan Cooperative Gopal Credit Card Scheme provides interest-free short-term loans up to ₹ 1 lakh to cattle farmers associated with the dairy sector through Primary Cooperative Land Development Banks and Central Cooperative Banks (CCBs) (Statements A and B are correct). The state government has made a budget provision of ₹150 crore for this scheme (Statement C is correct). Statement D is incorrect because this loan is not distributed by commercial foreign banks but by state co-operative credit structures (co-operative banks). Hence the correct code option is A.

These include the center of onion and vegetables in Alwar (A-2), the center of kinnow in Sriganganagar (B-1), the center of mango in Banswara (C-4) and the center of excellence of guava in Sawai Madhopur (D-3). This system provides improved varieties, scientific plantation and modern agricultural technical training to the farmers. Hence the correct match is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3 (option A).

According to the data of Agricultural Census 2015-16, the share of marginal holdings (less than 1 hectare) in the total operated holdings in Rajasthan is the highest at 40.12%. After this, small holdings (1 to 2 hectares) are 21.90%, semi-medium holdings (2 to 4 hectares) are 18.50%, medium holdings (4 to 10 hectares) are 14.79% and large holdings (10 hectares and more) are 4.69%. Thus the descending order becomes I (40.12%) > II (21.90%) > III (18.50%) > IV (14.79%). This sequence explains the increasing predominance of small and marginal land holdings in the state, hence the correct answer is option A.

Mukhyamantri Dudh Utpadak Sambal Yojana provides a direct subsidy of ₹5 per liter to milk producers registered with Rajasthan Co-operative Dairy Federation (RCDF) (Statements A, B and D are correct). Statement C is incorrect because the scheme is not limited to only 5 tribal districts but is equally applicable to the cooperative milk producers of all 33/50 districts of the entire Rajasthan state. Earlier this subsidy was ₹ 2 per liter, which the state government has increased to ₹ 5 per liter. Hence the correct option is A.

12 cage culture units have been approved to promote inland fish production in the state. This technology makes commercial fishing possible by placing floating nets (cages) in large dams and open freshwater reservoirs (option A is correct). Typically each unit has about 18 to 24 cages, not 50 cages (Choice B is incorrect). It is used in fresh water, not in salt water (Choice C is incorrect). In this, different categories of fishermen get 40% to 60% assistance as per the prescribed rules, not 100% (Option D is wrong).

Under Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana, 100% premium of NFSA, SECC, contract workers, small and marginal farmers, EWS and Covid orphan families is borne by the state government, making them completely free category (Statements A, B and C are correct). Statement D is incorrect because income tax paying households are not automatically included in the free category; If non-eligible families want to avail the benefit, they have to pay a premium of ₹850 per year. Hence the correct code option is A.

'Raj-Savera' is a state-wide de-addiction initiative (C-4) and 'Raj-Mamata' deals with mother-child mental health care (D-3). Thus, the correct combination is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3, which is given in option A.

Asha Sahyogini is not selected through competitive examination of the State Government or Personnel Department, but is done by the local Gram Sabha through community based participation, hence option B is a false statement.

There are approximately 54,022 ASHA associates working in the state who provide maternal-child health, immunization, institutional delivery and nutrition counselling, and coordinate VHSC meetings.

Options A, B and D are all valid services under the CPHC package.

Rajasthan is the first state in the country to implement special silicosis policy for mine and construction workers on 3 October 2019.

Apart from this, benefits of Widow Pension and Palanhar Yojana are also given. Hence, the amount of death benefit is ₹ 2 lakh (option B).

The main focus of 'Mission Madhuhari' is on adolescents and children suffering from type-1 diabetes, who require insulin throughout their life (Statement A is correct). This campaign was started as an innovation from Nagaur district and it provides training to doctors in proper diagnosis and insulin dosing (Statements B and C are correct). Statement D is incorrect because there are other programs (like blindness control programme) for cataract or senior citizens, not Mission Madhuhari. Hence the correct code option is A.

The central theme of the 11th International Yoga Day of the year 2025 was kept as "Yoga for One Earth, One Health", which underlines the interrelationship of the global environment and human health. Earlier the theme was 'Yoga for humanity' (option B) in 2022 and 'Yoga for self and society' (option D) in 2024. On this occasion in Rajasthan, mass yoga sessions were organized at the state, division, district and block levels as well as in all the Ayushman Arogya Mandirs.

Free Textbook Distribution Scheme is run by Rajasthan State Textbook Board to prevent dropouts at primary and secondary level. Under this, free books are given to all the students of class 1 to 8 without any discrimination (Statement A is correct). All girls, SC/ST students and students from non-income tax paying families in classes 9 to 12 get the benefit (Statements B and C are correct). Statement D is incorrect because general category children from income tax paying families are not entitled to free books in class 9-12. Hence the correct option is A.

Through this, any Bhamashah, alumni, corporate company (under CSR fund) or common citizen can directly donate online in a transparent manner for the development, classroom construction, smart lab or scholarship of any government school. Shala Darpan (option C) is for school database management, Diksha (option B) is for e-learning content, and e-Shram (option D) is the central portal for unorganized workers.

Option D claimed that there has been a huge increase of more than 15% points at the secondary level, which is false (an exaggerated figure); Growth at the secondary level has been limited. Hence the incorrect statement is option D.

The definition given in option A is for 'retention rate', not dropout rate. Dropout rate refers to the proportion of students who leave school without completing their respective education and do not remain enrolled in the next academic year. The definitions given in options B, C and D are completely correct as per the official standards of UNESCO and Indian Ministry of Education, hence option A is wrongly matched.

Samagra Shiksha Yojana is a comprehensive centrally sponsored scheme combining Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE), which is applicable from pre-school to class 12 (Statements A and C are correct). In non-Himalayan general states like Rajasthan its fiscal ratio is 60:40 (Centre:State) (Statement B is correct).

Sports-based ECCE is being offered to about 11.90 lakh children through more than 62,000 Anganwadi centers in Rajasthan (Statement A is correct). Not all Anganwadi centers are physically integrated into schools (about 37,000 are co-located, the rest are independent), so statement B is incorrect. Anganwadi centers which are independent are functionally linked to the nearest primary school located within a radius of 700 meters (Statement C is correct). This is the main premise of the 5-year Foundational Stage of NEP-2020 (Statement D is correct). Hence the correct option is A.

NIPUN Bharat Mission (National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy) aims to provide every child with the ability to read, write and basic arithmetic with comprehension by Grade 3 (and by Grade 5) by 2026-27 (Statement A is correct). Under this, Holistic Progress Card, Graded Reading Material and ABL Kit are used (Statements B and C are correct).

This accounts for 45.36% of the total capacity of 31,556.43 MW (Statement C is correct). Statement D is completely ridiculous and wrong because the windmills are installed on land and not under the river water in the high wind speed areas of western Rajasthan like Jaisalmer (Badabagh, Soda), Phalodi, Pratapgarh (Devgarh) and Barmer. Hence the correct code option is A.

The strengthening of Rajasthan State Electricity Transmission Corporation Limited (RVPN) has led to the rapid expansion of the state's EHV transmission network (765kV, 400kV, 220kV, 132kV lines). This network was 36,079 circuit km in March 2017, which will increase to 45,933.315 circuit km by December 2025.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

Rajasthan is the largest state of India in terms of area (3,42,239 square km or 10.41% of the country), but due to harsh climate and lack of rainfall, only 1.16 percent of the total water resources of the country (surface water about 1.01% and groundwater 1.70%) is present in the state. This is the reason why per capita availability of water in the state is extremely limited and expansion of micro irrigation techniques (drip/sprinkler) is essential. Option B (2.50%), C (5%) and D (9.10%) are incorrect figures, hence the correct answer is option A (1.16%).

Narmada Canal Project is the first such large irrigation project in India in which sprinkler (sprinkler/drip) irrigation has been made mandatory in the entire command area (2.46 lakh hectares of Jalore and Barmer) to conserve every drop of water. This 458 km long main canal originating from Sardar Sarovar Dam (Gujarat) has a 74 km canal network spread in Rajasthan.
