How much has been earmarked under Jal Jeevan Mission 2.0 to address drinking water gaps in PM-JANMAN and DA-JGUA villages?

The correct answer is the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. It has carried out a state-wise exercise named SurveySetu, in which the status of functional household tap connections is verified at the level of each household. States have been advised to present the findings of this exercise jointly, through their water supply departments, tribal welfare departments and the survey agency, before the District Water and Sanitation Mission, and to resolve any mismatch through field verification so that a final validated database exists at the district level. Option A, the Ministry of Jal Shakti, is the ministry whose Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation convened the review and funds the taps, but the survey is not its exercise. Option B, the Ministry of Rural Development, and option D, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, have no role in this survey, so both are wrong.

The correct answer is Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan. DA-JGUA is one of the two tribal missions whose drinking water needs were reviewed by the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation; the other is PM-JANMAN, the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan. The aim in both is saturation, that is, a working tap connection for every eligible household in every eligible tribal village, certified after joint validation. Option B replaces the village upliftment part of the name with a water and flight theme that does not exist. Option C invents an entirely different scheme name built around Deen Dayal and rural progress. Option D changes Utkarsh to Ujjwal and drops the correct form of the word Janjatiya. Since only option A reproduces the official expansion exactly, it is the answer.

The correct answer is the District Water and Sanitation Mission, chaired by the District Magistrate. The Secretary of the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation stressed that villages under the two tribal missions should be reviewed regularly through meetings of this body, which is headed by the Deputy Commissioner or District Magistrate of the district. It is meant to serve as the key platform for coordination between departments, for validating survey findings and for identifying the real coverage gaps that need work. Option B names the District Planning Committee, which handles district plans rather than tap water validation. Option C names the district rural development agency, which implements rural schemes but was not given this role. Option D describes a district water regulatory board under a Divisional Commissioner, a body that does not exist in this arrangement. Hence option A is correct.

The correct answer is Kartavya Bhavan-1 on Dr. Rajendra Prasad Marg in New Delhi, and more precisely the area near its Gate No. 3, where the voluntary cleanliness drive was carried out. The Ministry chose a working government precinct rather than a ceremonial venue, which fits the point it was making: that clean surroundings are the everyday responsibility of the people who use a place.

Option A, Nirman Bhavan, is a familiar seat of central ministries in the capital and therefore a tempting answer, but it was not the site of this drive. Option C, Vigyan Bhavan, is a conference venue in New Delhi and was not involved. Option D, Bharat Mandapam, hosts large national and international events in the capital and had no part in this shramdaan. Only Kartavya Bhavan-1 matches.

The correct answer is the National AIDS Control Organisation, abbreviated NACO. Dr. Rakesh Gupta serves as Additional Secretary in the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and as Director General of NACO, and in that capacity he was among the senior officers who joined the shramdaan in New Delhi.

Option A is wrong because the National Health Mission is headed, as Mission Director, by Smt. Aradhana Patnaik, who is also an Additional Secretary and who spoke at the event on the importance of people taking part. Option B is wrong because the Director General of the Indian Council of Medical Research is Dr. Rajiv Bahl, who is Secretary of the Department of Health Research as well and who led the drive. Option D is wrong because Dr. Loveneesh G. Krishna is the Director General of Health Services. All four officials attended, but only one of them heads NACO.
