What is the estimated project cost of the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum approved by the CCEA?
- A.Rs 1,780 crore
- B.Rs 2,230 crore
- C.Rs 3,230 crore
- D.Rs 5,230 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 3,230 crore. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs cleared the museum at this estimated cost, a figure appraised by the Public Investment Board, and the Ministry of Culture concurred with its recommendations. Option A, Rs 1,780 crore, is a trap made from the museum's built-up area, which is about 1,78,509 square metres. Option B, Rs 2,230 crore, and option D, Rs 5,230 crore, keep the tail of the real figure while changing the leading digit, which is exactly the sort of distractor a paper setter uses. The project will be executed in phases across the financial years 2026-27 to 2030-31 and the institution is being equipped for a footfall of one crore visitors a year, with recurring income expected from tickets, retail, guided tours and venue rentals.
