Mukhyamantri Abhyudaya Yojana of Uttar Pradesh is a scheme for which purpose?
- A.Free coaching for competitive examinations
- B.Interest-free loans to traders
- C.Pension for destitute women
- D.Insurance for sugarcane growers
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Free coaching for competitive examinations. Mukhyamantri Abhyudaya Yojana was started on Basant Panchami, 16 February 2021, and runs free coaching classes at centres in every division of the state for aspirants of the civil services, state services, NEET, JEE, defence services and other examinations, with serving officers taking some of the classes and the content also put online.
Option B is wrong because loans to young entrepreneurs come under Mukhyamantri Yuva Swarozgar Yojana and the later Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Vikas Abhiyan, not Abhyudaya. Option C describes the Nirashrit Mahila Pension, a separate welfare payment of the Women and Child Development Department. Option D is wrong because crop and farmer insurance is handled by central schemes and by the Mukhyamantri Krishak Durghatna Kalyan Yojana for accidents. The word Abhyudaya, meaning rise or advancement, is the hint that the scheme is about coaching the young for examinations.
