What is the estimated total cost of the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum project?
- A.Rs 1,230 crore
- B.Rs 2,330 crore
- C.Rs 3,230 crore
- D.Rs 4,230 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Rs 3,230 crore. That is the estimated total cost of the Yuge Yugeen Bharat Museum, cleared by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on 11 November 2026. The Ministry of Culture is developing the museum inside the North and South Block Complex in New Delhi, and the outlay covers conservation of the two historic buildings, new exhibition space, visitor facilities and modern museum systems, with the build phased from FY 2026-27 to FY 2030-31. The other three amounts are not the approved figure. Rs 1,230 crore and Rs 2,330 crore fall short of the sanctioned outlay, while Rs 4,230 crore runs above it; all three are close-sounding sums with no backing. Aspirants should remember the amount together with the approving body and the date of approval, because question setters usually pair the three in one statement.
