Under the DDU-GKY 2.0 framework, what is the minimum placement duration for a trained candidate?

The correct answer is 25 September 2014, under the National Rural Livelihoods Mission. The Ministry of Rural Development started the scheme on that date to give placement-linked skill training to youth of 15 to 35 years from poor rural households, and the scheme is marking its twelfth anniversary this year. Option B moves the launch a year later and attaches the scheme to a different skilling programme, which the ministry does not name as its parent. Option C picks a date associated with cleanliness and rural employment programmes rather than with this scheme, and MGNREGA is a wage employment law, not the mission under which rural skilling sits. Option D names neither the right date nor the right parent mission. The pairing to remember is DDU-GKY with the National Rural Livelihoods Mission, also written as DAY-NRLM.

The correct answer is 7,620 rupees, at 1,270 rupees a month for six months. The support is deliberately paid month by month over the same six months that now make up the minimum placement period, so that the money helps a candidate stay in a new job and a new city rather than arriving as one lump sum. Option A is wrong because the assistance is not a single grant on joining. Option C invents both the total and the monthly rate. Option D is wrong because post-placement support is one of the features that the upgraded framework strengthened: besides the monthly assistance, a candidate who remains employed for 365 days, with an employment break of no more than 60 days, receives a retention amount of 5,000 rupees, and upskilling opportunities follow twelve months of placement.

The correct answer is New Delhi. Under the Viksit Bharat Challenge, participants climb through an Essay Challenge, District Championships and State or Union Territory level rounds, and the winners reach the national Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue held in the capital from 10 to 12 January 2027. The exercise began with the Viksit Bharat Quiz on 17 August 2026, which remains open until 30 September 2026 on the MY Bharat platform. Options A, C and D name other large Indian cities, none of which was announced as the venue of the national dialogue. Alongside the main challenge the dialogue carries five more tracks, namely the Cultural Track, Design for Bharat, Hack for Social Cause, Youth Entrepreneurs Challenge and Youth Parliament, and selected participants get to present their ideas before policymakers and, at the national stage, before the Prime Minister.

The correct answer is 31 October 2023. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched Mera Yuva Bharat on that date, setting it up as a technology-enabled platform through which young Indians could join the country's development journey. At the launch he stressed the value of bringing the nation's youth on to a common platform. The growth since then is worth memorising along with the date: registrations crossed 2 crore in October 2025, went past 2.46 crore by August 2026, and have now crossed 3 crore. Option A is a date associated with National Youth Day observances rather than this launch. Option B and option D are national days that often appear as distractors in such questions but have no link to the platform's launch. The milestone was announced by the ministry on 23 September 2026.

The correct answer is the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Mera Yuva Bharat, or MY Bharat, is the national youth engagement platform of the Department of Youth Affairs within that ministry, and it has now gone past 3 crore registered youth in under three years. Option A, the Ministry of Education, runs school and higher education programmes and is not the owner of this platform, though students are among its users. Option C, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, handles skilling missions and is a natural-looking but wrong choice here. Option D, the Ministry of Women and Child Development, deals with a different set of schemes altogether. The platform offers Experiential Learning Programmes, volunteering, quizzes, youth dialogues and community engagement, and an AI-enabled CV Builder has been added to help young users prepare professional profiles.
