Tribal Affairs Ministry Signs iGOT Pact for Adi Karmayogi

The correct answer is Karmayogi Bharat, which signed the memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Tribal Affairs in New Delhi for a Tribal Affairs Capacity Building Platform under the iGOT Karmayogi framework. Karmayogi Bharat will host, run and maintain the platform, bring learners on board and provide technical support, analytics and progress reports, while the ministry owns the subject matter and will fix the target groups, the competencies and the content. The other options are wrong because none of them is a party to this agreement, even though each works in training or in tribal and rural development in some form. The agreement matters because it stretches Mission Karmayogi, which so far trained civil servants, to village level volunteers working on tribal development schemes.

The correct answer is Maharashtra, Odisha, Goa and Tripura. These four states were placed first in the queue for the three day in-person training of volunteers, which State Administrative Training Institutes are to design and deliver along with state tribal welfare departments, and they are expected to finish it by the end of October. Every other state is to complete the same training by 31 December 2026. The remaining options mix in states that were not named among the four priority states, which makes them incorrect. The classroom training is meant to go together with the online material on the new microsite, where learning can be tracked state by state, so candidates should remember both deadlines as a pair.

The correct answer is 60,507. Going by what the states have reported on the portal, that many Adi Sewa Kendras stand registered, along with 1,22,072 Adi Karmayogi Volunteers. Option C is wrong because it gives the number of registered volunteers rather than kendras, which is the classic trap in such questions. Options A and D are also wrong, as they give the targets of the campaign and not the figures achieved: the ministry is working towards more than 76,000 Adi Sewa Kendras and a network of more than 1,54,000 volunteers, which are to serve as lasting village level platforms for facilitation, citizen engagement and convergence of schemes at the last mile. Keep the target and the achievement separate for both kendras and volunteers.

The correct answer is Mission Karmayogi. Its capacity building framework, which until now focused on civil servants, has been extended through this agreement to Adi Karmayogi Volunteers and to other functionaries who implement tribal development schemes on the ground. The training will be delivered on the iGOT Karmayogi platform, where a dedicated microsite gives volunteers standardised and mobile friendly material with assessments and certification. The other options name different programmes that were not the basis of this extension, so they are incorrect. As evidence of early use, the Secretary of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Ranjana Chopra, cited 646 course enrolments, 235 course completions and 112 volunteers who have finished at least one course, while instructional videos reached more than 1,25,000 volunteers by bulk message.
