The Ministry of Tribal Affairs signed its capacity building MoU with which organisation?

The correct answer is Maharashtra, Odisha, Goa and Tripura. These four states were placed first in the queue for the three day in-person training of volunteers, which State Administrative Training Institutes are to design and deliver along with state tribal welfare departments, and they are expected to finish it by the end of October. Every other state is to complete the same training by 31 December 2026. The remaining options mix in states that were not named among the four priority states, which makes them incorrect. The classroom training is meant to go together with the online material on the new microsite, where learning can be tracked state by state, so candidates should remember both deadlines as a pair.

The correct answer is 60,507. Going by what the states have reported on the portal, that many Adi Sewa Kendras stand registered, along with 1,22,072 Adi Karmayogi Volunteers. Option C is wrong because it gives the number of registered volunteers rather than kendras, which is the classic trap in such questions. Options A and D are also wrong, as they give the targets of the campaign and not the figures achieved: the ministry is working towards more than 76,000 Adi Sewa Kendras and a network of more than 1,54,000 volunteers, which are to serve as lasting village level platforms for facilitation, citizen engagement and convergence of schemes at the last mile. Keep the target and the achievement separate for both kendras and volunteers.

The correct answer is Mission Karmayogi. Its capacity building framework, which until now focused on civil servants, has been extended through this agreement to Adi Karmayogi Volunteers and to other functionaries who implement tribal development schemes on the ground. The training will be delivered on the iGOT Karmayogi platform, where a dedicated microsite gives volunteers standardised and mobile friendly material with assessments and certification. The other options name different programmes that were not the basis of this extension, so they are incorrect. As evidence of early use, the Secretary of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Ranjana Chopra, cited 646 course enrolments, 235 course completions and 112 volunteers who have finished at least one course, while instructional videos reached more than 1,25,000 volunteers by bulk message.

The correct answer is the Unified Geospatial Interface, or UGI. The PM GatiShakti Public platform was launched through this interface in September 2025 and extends selected data analytics capabilities to private entities and to the general public, which marked the accessibility phase of the master plan. Alongside it, the Knowledge Management System, the Decentralized Data Uploading and Management System and the PMGS-NMP Dashboard have strengthened knowledge sharing, data governance, decentralised data management and the monitoring of infrastructure. Options A, C and D are plausible sounding but incorrect names. Remember also that the master plan reached beyond conventional infrastructure into social sector and area based planning, extending to districts for local socio economic development covering roads, schools, healthcare facilities, water pipelines and other essential services, which is why the District Master Plan of 2024-25 is an important milestone.

The correct answer is the Integrated Transport and Logistics Authority, abbreviated as ITLA. The government has decided to set it up so that the full potential of PM GatiShakti can be used for integrated long term transport planning, and the Union Cabinet has approved it. The authority is to strengthen research, planning, appraisal, monitoring and impact assessment within transport and logistics, and it is expected to improve multimodal infrastructure connectivity, raise infrastructure efficiency, reduce logistics costs and lift India's competitiveness in global logistics. Options A, C and D are invented names and no such bodies were announced with the completion of five years of the master plan. Candidates should also note that the master plan is tied to the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, for which it provides the framework of coordinated planning, multimodal connectivity and better logistics efficiency.
