How much was sanctioned to ten states under the Prime Minister Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana at the National Agriculture Conference - Rabi Campaign 2026?

The correct answer is West Bengal, which was sanctioned Rs 290 crore, the biggest single share of the more than Rs 1200 crore distributed under PM-RKVY. Punjab in option A stands at the other end of the list with Rs 43 crore, the smallest of the ten sanctions announced. Bihar in option B received Rs 114 crore, well behind West Bengal, and Haryana in option D came second with Rs 198 crore. The full list also covered Chhattisgarh with Rs 181 crore, Arunachal Pradesh with Rs 154 crore, Karnataka with Rs 104 crore, Mizoram with Rs 75 crore, Himachal Pradesh with Rs 64 crore and Jharkhand with Rs 58 crore. Learning the top three and the bottom of this list is enough for most objective papers, because examiners usually ask for the highest or the lowest recipient rather than the whole table.

The correct answer is 22 October to 30 November. The campaign was announced to protect soil health and the environment, and scientists together with other stakeholders are to take part in it. Working from Soil Health Cards, it promotes balanced use of fertiliser so that soil fertility and beneficial insects are not damaged, and it encourages pulse cultivation in the rice fallow fields of eastern India, especially Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and West Bengal, once paddy has been harvested. Option B names a window that belongs to a different government cleanliness campaign, not to this one. Option C repeats the dates fixed for the rabi interface meetings at district and state level, which are a separate announcement from the same conference. Option D is not a period mentioned at all. Note the pairing carefully, since the same conference produced several date-based announcements.

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.

The correct answer is 1 July 2026. The Act was passed in 2025 and was brought into force on that date, after which it was rolled out in every rural area of the country. The changeover from the earlier rural employment guarantee law was described as seamless, because the digital systems that support verification, monitoring and payment were already working when the new framework began. Option A is the start of the financial year and is a natural guess, but it is not the commencement date. Option C is a date associated with several government campaigns and anniversaries, not with this statute. Option D is the start of the calendar year and has no connection with the mission. Candidates should pair the commencement date with the progress cut-off used in the backgrounder, which reports figures as they stood on 24 September 2026.

The correct answer is 125 days. The law provides a statutory guarantee of wage employment for 125 days in every financial year, and the guarantee is available to every rural household whose adult members volunteer for unskilled manual work. Option A is the figure people remember from the older rural employment law that this framework has replaced, which makes it the commonest wrong choice in the paper. Option C and option D are higher than anything the statute promises and appear in no official statement about the mission. Along with the number of days, remember that the guarantee is tied to four thematic areas: water security, core rural infrastructure, livelihood-related infrastructure and protection against extreme weather events. The framework also aims at empowerment, growth, convergence and saturation, and it works through plans prepared at the gram panchayat level and approved by the Gram Sabha.
