India's first housing project using 3D concrete printing technology was launched in which state?

The correct answer is 3 lakh. Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare and Rural Development Shivraj Singh Chouhan handed Andhra Pradesh a sanction of three lakh permanent houses, costing Rs 3,600 crore, at Burripalem village in Guntur district, with Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu present. Option A, 76,000, is wrong because that was only the quota first worked out for the state by officials of the rural development ministry; the Chief Minister asked for more and the first instalment was raised. Option B, one lakh, does not match any figure announced at the function and is simply a plausible looking round number. Option D, nine lakh, is wrong because nine lakh is the total requirement the Chief Minister has placed before the Centre, not the number cleared on this day; of that total, three lakh form the first instalment and six lakh more are to follow in tranches of three lakh each as the earlier work is finished.

The correct answer is Rs 20,000. The Centre pays Rs 6,000 a year to eligible farmers under the PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi, and the Andhra Pradesh government adds Rs 14,000 a year under its own Annadata Sukhibhava scheme, so a farmer in the state gets twenty thousand rupees in a year. Option A is wrong because Rs 6,000 is only the central share of that amount. Option B is wrong because Rs 14,000 is only the state's top up, paid over and above the central instalments. Option D is a figure that does not arise from either scheme and is included only as a distractor. The Union Minister mentioned these payments while speaking about the support given to farmers and to women, noting also that twenty three lakh women in the state have become Lakhpati Didis and that the number is to be raised to sixty lakh.

The correct answer is Andhra Pradesh, by the President. The Union Rural Development Minister announced at Burripalem that the national Saras Mela, a fair of self help group products, will be held in Andhra Pradesh on 15 October, and that this is the first time in the country's history that the fair moves out of Delhi. President Droupadi Murmu will inaugurate what he called the great gathering of the self help group sisters. Option A is wrong on both counts, as neither Odisha nor the Prime Minister is connected with this announcement. Option C names the Vice-President and Gujarat, and option D names the Rural Development Minister and Bihar; the Minister made the announcement but the inauguration is to be done by the President, and the venue is Andhra Pradesh, so both are incorrect.

The correct answer is 71.79 per cent. Across the sixteen Pension Adalats held before the present one, 20,676 of 28,797 grievances were closed on the spot, which works out to a success rate of 71.79 per cent. Options A, B and D are close-sounding figures, but none of them matches that ratio. The complaints left over were not abandoned: the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare took them up afterwards in inter-ministerial review meetings, so the cases from every earlier sitting were eventually settled. This record is why the mechanism, started in 2017, is held up as an efficient and cost-effective alternative to litigation for central government pensioners. The 17th sitting carries the idea further by making the hearing thematic, with 897 grievances of super-senior pensioners and family pensioners, drawn from 24 ministries and departments and lodged on the CPENGRAMS portal, listed for redressal on 5 October 2026.

The correct answer is 2017. The Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare introduced Pension Adalats in 2017 as an alternative way of settling complicated and long-pending pension complaints of central government pensioners. The design is that every stakeholder connected with a particular kind of grievance sits together and disposes of the matter on the spot, an arrangement the department describes as a whole-of-government approach. Because it removes the need for costly and slow court proceedings, it also serves the commitment of the central government to reduce litigation. Options A, C and D name other years and do not mark the start of the initiative. Since then the mechanism has handled 28,797 grievances over sixteen editions and resolved 20,676 of them in the hall itself, a success rate of 71.79 per cent. The 17th edition, on 5 October 2026, is the first thematic one, devoted to super-senior pensioners and family pensioners.
