PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana Score Rises to 38.85 in July

The correct answer is 100 districts. The scheme was designed to speed up agricultural development in districts identified on three counts: low agricultural productivity, low cropping intensity and low disbursement of agricultural credit. Every one of these districts has uploaded a District Action Plan, received feedback on it and filed data against output indicators up to July 2026, so the count of 100 recurs through the whole review. Option D is the trap most likely to catch an unprepared candidate, because 121 is also a real number in this scheme, but it counts indicators rather than districts: 121 indicators in all, made up of 74 output indicators and 47 outcome indicators. Options A and C are district counts associated with other government programmes and do not appear in this release. Fix the pair in memory: 100 districts, 121 indicators.

The correct answer is 38.85. The average score of the 100 districts across the six objectives of the scheme stood at 22.54 in April 2026 and reached 38.85 in July 2026. The other options are all genuine figures from the same review, and telling them apart is the whole skill being tested. Option A is the starting point in April rather than the level reached in July. Option B is the size of the improvement, that is the difference of 16.31 points between the two readings, so a candidate who confuses a change with a level will pick it. Option D is the July score of a single objective, governance and service delivery, which was the highest scoring of the six and had risen from 7.94. For revision, hold the three numbers as a sentence: from 22.54 to 38.85, a gain of 16.31 points.

The correct answer is 36 schemes of 11 ministries and departments, working along with state schemes and participation from the private sector. Option A simply swaps the two numbers, and that swap is the commonest error in the examination hall, so read the order carefully: the smaller number belongs to the ministries and the larger to the schemes. Options C and D reuse the indicator counts. There are 47 outcome indicators and 74 output indicators, which together make the 121 indicators fixed across the 36 schemes for monitoring against annual targets, and neither 47 nor 74 counts schemes. One more thread of convergence appears in the review: the Department of Public Enterprises has allowed central public sector enterprises to adopt PM-DDKY districts for corporate social responsibility work in 2026-27 and 2027-28.

The correct answer is 11 October 2025, the day the Prime Minister formally launched the scheme. Option A is the date on which the Union Cabinet approved it, and the gap between approval and launch is exactly what this question tests; an aspirant should keep both, because either can be asked. Option C is the date the Financial Progress Module of the scheme's dashboard was implemented, with a Beneficiary Progress Module targeted for the middle of September 2026. Option D is the date of this review meeting held by the Union Agriculture Minister at Krishi Bhawan in New Delhi. Two further dates complete the timeline: the dashboard was activated in the last week of October 2025, monthly output-indicator rankings began in November 2025, and the scheme completes its first year in October 2026.
