How much has the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana transferred, and to how many mothers, in its ten years?

  1. A.More than Rs 11,000 crore to over 2.65 crore mothers
  2. B.More than Rs 21,000 crore to over 4.65 crore mothers
  3. C.More than Rs 31,000 crore to over 6.65 crore mothers
  4. D.More than Rs 41,000 crore to over 8.65 crore mothers

Correct answer

B. More than Rs 21,000 crore to over 4.65 crore mothers

Explanation

The correct answer is more than Rs 21,000 crore to over 4.65 crore mothers, paid through direct benefit transfer. The Union Minister announced the figure while noting that the scheme has completed ten years of implementation, and a film marking the decade was screened at the launch in Varanasi. Options A, C and D move both numbers up or down in step, which is how such questions are usually built, because a candidate who remembers only the rough scale cannot separate them. Anchor the pair by remembering that the rupee figure in thousands of crore is roughly four to five times the number of crore of beneficiaries. Two more figures from the same speech are worth carrying with it: more than 14 lakh Anganwadi Centres are working, and 2 lakh of them are being upgraded into Saksham Anganwadis, of which about 24,000 have been approved in Uttar Pradesh.
