What is the total outlay of the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Gram Swaraj Yojana approved by the Union Cabinet?
- A.4,869.48 crore rupees
- B.7,395.55 crore rupees
- C.2,526.07 crore rupees
- D.10,000 crore rupees
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 7,395.55 crore rupees, which is the full outlay of the scheme across its five-year term. The sum is shared between the two tiers of government, and that is exactly why the other options are placed here as traps. Option A is the central share alone, option C is the state share alone, and the two added together produce the figure in option B. A candidate who remembers only one of the three numbers can be caught out, so the safe method is to learn the pair and their total as a set. Option D is a round figure taken from a different Cabinet decision of the same day and has nothing to do with this panchayat scheme. The outlay is also worth linking to the Sixteenth Finance Commission grants for rural local bodies, which the scheme is meant to help panchayats use well.
