For which financial year will Gram Panchayats prepare their development plans under this campaign?

  1. A.2025-26
  2. B.2026-27
  3. C.2027-28
  4. D.2028-29

Correct answer

C. 2027-28

Explanation

The correct answer is 2027-28. The campaign itself is named for the current round, but the plan a Gram Panchayat prepares in it is for the financial year that follows, which is how village planning is meant to work: the Sabha decides priorities well before the money for that year is allocated. Option B is wrong for exactly this reason and is the commonest trap, because the campaign is called the People's Plan Campaign for the current year and a hurried candidate matches the two. Option A is wrong because that year belongs to the earlier round of the campaign and is already behind. Option D is wrong because planning does not jump two years ahead in this exercise. The plan prepared is called the Gram Panchayat Development Plan, and more than two and a half lakh Panchayats upload theirs on the eGramSwaraj portal.

Q1.NationalEasy

What is the title of the People's Plan Campaign launched in the Special Gram Sabhas?

  1. A.Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas
  2. B.Sabki Yojana, Sabka Vikas
  3. C.Mera Gaon, Meri Yojana
  4. D.Gram Swaraj, Gram Vikas
Show answer

Correct answer: B. Sabki Yojana, Sabka Vikas

Explanation

The correct answer is Sabki Yojana, Sabka Vikas. That is the title under which the People's Plan Campaign for the year is launched when Special Gram Sabhas assemble on the second of October, and under it every Gram Panchayat draws up its development plan for the next financial year through participatory, evidence-based planning. Option A is wrong; it echoes a well known government slogan about development with everyone's support, which is exactly why it misleads, but it is not the name of this campaign. Option C is wrong because no such title has been given to the campaign, although it sounds like the kind of name a village planning drive might carry. Option D is wrong because Gram Swaraj belongs to the name of a different programme for building Panchayat capacity, the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan, which is one of the schemes discussed in the Sabhas rather than the campaign itself.

Q2.NationalMedium

How many days of wage employment are guaranteed by statute under VB-G RAM G, one of the schemes placed before the Gram Sabhas?

  1. A.100 days
  2. B.125 days
  3. C.150 days
  4. D.180 days
Show answer

Correct answer: B. 125 days

Explanation

The correct answer is 125 days. The Viksit Bharat guarantee for employment and livelihood in rural areas, placed before the Special Gram Sabhas by the Department of Rural Development, carries a statutory guarantee of that many days of wage employment, and it is discussed along with the Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan for locally decided works and livelihoods. Option A is wrong, and it is the strongest distractor, because a hundred days is the figure most aspirants associate with rural wage employment from earlier reading. Options C and D name larger numbers that no such guarantee provides; they are plausible only because states sometimes add extra days of work in drought-hit or scheduled areas, which is an administrative addition rather than the statutory guarantee being asked about here. For the examination, fix the statutory figure of one hundred and twenty-five days.

Q3.NationalMedium

On which national highway section is the Paranur Toll Plaza situated?

  1. A.Surat-Bharuch section of NH-48
  2. B.Tambaram-Tindivanam section of NH-179B
  3. C.Panipat-Jalandhar section of NH-44
  4. D.Urban Extension Road-II in Delhi-NCR
Show answer

Correct answer: B. Tambaram-Tindivanam section of NH-179B

Explanation

The correct answer is the Tambaram-Tindivanam section of NH-179B. That is where Paranur Toll Plaza stands, and it is the stretch on which Tamil Nadu received its first barrier-less tolling arrangement from the National Highways Authority of India. Option A is wrong because the Surat-Bharuch section of NH-48 carries the Chorayasi plaza in Gujarat. Option C is wrong because the Panipat-Jalandhar section of National Highway-44 carries the Gharaunda plaza in Haryana. Option D is wrong because Urban Extension Road-II in the Delhi-NCR area carries the Mundka-Bakkarwala plaza. Each of those three is a genuine free-flow location, which is what makes them useful distractors, but the question asks specifically about Paranur, and that plaza belongs to the Tambaram-Tindivanam stretch of NH-179B in Tamil Nadu.

Q4.NationalMedium

The Multi-Lane Free Flow tolling system identifies a passing vehicle mainly through which technology?

  1. A.Automatic Number Plate Recognition
  2. B.Global Positioning System tracking of each vehicle
  3. C.Radio broadcast of the chassis number
  4. D.Manual entry of the registration number by toll staff
Show answer

Correct answer: A. Automatic Number Plate Recognition

Explanation

The correct answer is Automatic Number Plate Recognition, usually shortened to ANPR. Cameras at the plaza read the registration plate of every vehicle that crosses, and the FASTag-based Electronic Toll Collection system then debits the user fee from the account linked to that vehicle. Option B is wrong because the free-flow system described for Paranur rests on plate reading and FASTag, not on satellite tracking of individual vehicles. Option C is wrong because no chassis number is broadcast anywhere in this arrangement; the chassis number is a manufacturing identity and plays no part in charging toll. Option D is wrong because the whole purpose of the change is the opposite: free-flow tolling is meant to cut human intervention in collection, so staff do not type registration numbers for passing traffic. Together, ANPR and FASTag allow charging without any halt.

Q5.NationalEasy

At which toll plaza has Tamil Nadu's first Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system been started?

  1. A.Chorayasi Toll Plaza
  2. B.Gharaunda Toll Plaza
  3. C.Paranur Toll Plaza
  4. D.Manoharpura Toll Plaza
Show answer

Correct answer: C. Paranur Toll Plaza

Explanation

The correct answer is Paranur Toll Plaza. It lies on the Tambaram-Tindivanam section of NH-179B and has become the first location in Tamil Nadu where the National Highways Authority of India charges toll without a boom barrier, letting vehicles roll through while cameras and FASTag settle the fee. Option A, Chorayasi, is wrong because that plaza is on the Surat-Bharuch section of NH-48 and lies in Gujarat, not Tamil Nadu. Option B, Gharaunda, is wrong because it sits on the Panipat-Jalandhar section of National Highway-44 in Haryana. Option D, Manoharpura, is wrong because it is one of the three plazas on the Delhi-Jaipur section of NH-48 in Rajasthan, the others being Shahjahanpur and Daulatpura. All three of these were converted to free-flow tolling earlier, but none of them is in Tamil Nadu, so only Paranur answers the question asked here.
