How many types of permissible works are identified under the Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan framework?

  1. A.186
  2. B.262
  3. C.318
  4. D.404

Correct answer

C. 318

Explanation

The correct answer is 318. The VGPP framework identifies that many types of permissible works, spread over the four thematic areas of the mission. A Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan is prepared with the participation of the Gram Sabha, which also recommends and approves it. The process starts with an inventory of assets, infrastructure and service gaps in the panchayat, including assets built under central and state schemes, and then uses GIS along with Yuktdhara and PM Gati Shakti so that spending is not duplicated. Options A, B and D are plausible-looking counts but none of them is the figure given for permissible works. Remember also that these plans are consolidated at block, district, state and national level, and that the consolidated version feeds the Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack.
