Up to which date has free access to PBSHABD been assured?

The correct answer is Prasar Bharati, India's public service broadcaster. PBSHABD is its free news feed, and the very name carries the parent body in it, since it expands to Prasar Bharati - Shared Audio-Visuals for Broadcast and Dissemination. The service grew out of the broadcaster's own internal wire, the Prasar Bharati News Service, and it draws on the same correspondents and desks that feed bulletins on Akashvani and Doordarshan. Option A names a news agency that is not connected with this platform. Option C is the government's own publicity arm, which issues press releases rather than running this multimedia feed. Option D is a training and research institution in mass communication and has no role in running the service. The ministry in charge of the launch was Information and Broadcasting.

The correct answer is that the content carries no logo and needs no credit line. This is the feature that sets the platform apart from a conventional news agency, because a small newspaper can run a national or international story under its own masthead without attributing it to the broadcaster. Option A reverses that rule. Option C is wrong because the feed offers news in 15 Indian languages and under nearly 50 news categories, in five formats covering text, video, audio, photographs and infographics, which is what makes it useful to regional newsrooms. Option D is wrong because registration is open to newspapers and journals holding a valid RNI certificate, to television and radio stations holding uplink and downlink certificates, and to digital publishers who submit a copy of their PAN. Each organisation gets one login to share within its newsroom.

The correct answer is 14,47,619 rupees. The money came from the disposal of files, obsolete material and scrap during the month-long drive held from 2 to 31 October 2025. The other options are the campaign's remaining figures moved into the wrong place, which is how such questions are usually framed. Option A is the number of physical files and documents that were digitised and weeded out during that campaign. Option B is the office space, measured in square feet, that was freed for use. Option D inflates the number of cleanliness drives, which stood at 64, into a sum of money. A candidate should therefore memorise the four results of Special Campaign 5.0 together with the unit attached to each of them, because the unit is what the examiner tests.

The correct answer is 2 to 31 October 2026. The campaign is run in two clearly separated stages, and a question of this kind usually turns on telling them apart. Option A gives the dates of the preparatory phase, which is the stretch in which offices identify the files, references and grievances that they will take up, fix targets and put the institutional arrangements in place. The implementation phase that follows is the month in which that identified pendency is actually disposed of, space is freed and e-waste is collected, segregated and sent for disposal. Option C names a month in which no phase of the campaign falls. Option D repeats the dates of the previous edition, Special Campaign 5.0, which was held a year earlier and whose results form the baseline for this year's drive.

The correct answer is the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, usually written as DARPG. It runs the special campaign across the Government, lays down the parameters against which each office identifies its pending matters, issues the guidelines that offices follow, and takes the reporting of achievements on the campaign portal. Option B names the department that is implementing the drive in this particular case, which is the trap in the question: DEPwD is a participating department, not the one that launched the campaign. Option C handles service and personnel matters for the Government and is not the nodal department for this drive. Option D deals with public finance and expenditure control, and has no role in running the cleanliness and pendency campaign. Remember DARPG as the nodal department, and remember that each participating department nominates its own Nodal Officer.
