What was the total value of the development projects inaugurated and begun by the Union DoNER Minister in Mizoram in October 2026?

The correct answer is Rs 189.79 crore. The Mizoram Ginger Mission of this size is meant to draw nearly 20,000 farming households into a single value chain that covers cultivation, processing, branding, connectivity and access to national and international markets. Mizo ginger was described as the unique strength and economic identity of the state, and the aim of the mission is not merely to raise production but to see that farmers and local communities keep a larger share of the value created, which is why the road built in the ginger pilot belt matters to it. Options A, C and D give sums that were not sanctioned for the mission. Candidates should also link the mission with the Daido-Vangkawt Road in Champhai, a 3.33-kilometre road built under NESIDS-Roads at Rs 17.24 crore to carry produce from that belt to the market.

The correct answer is Sairang, 51.38 kilometres. The Bairabi-Sairang railway line of that length was called a historic milestone that placed Mizoram on the railway map of the country and changed the state’s access to major economic centres. More than 15 lakh passengers have since travelled on over 1,100 train trips that link Aizawl with Guwahati, Kolkata and Delhi, and the Sairang-Silchar service has strengthened ties with the Barak Valley. Sairang also received the first Food Corporation of India food-grain rake in March 2026, carrying about 26,000 quintals of rice from Punjab in 42 wagons. Option B mixes in the 74 circuit kilometres of the Bairabi-West Phaileng power line. Option C uses the length of the road projects at Pukzing-Silsuri and Tualpui-Champhai, and option D borrows the length of the Oil Palm Link Road.

The correct answer is 31 October 2026. The e-auction is currently live and its closing date has been pushed to the end of October, so that bidders have more time to study the collection and place their offers on the official PM Mementos portal. The eighteen mementos from Andhra Pradesh are part of that live collection. Option B, 30 November 2026, and option D, 31 December 2026, are later dates and do not match the extension that has been announced. Option C, 15 October 2026, falls earlier and would cut the bidding period short. For examination purposes the useful combination to remember is the number of mementos from the state, the ministry that runs the initiative, the destination of the proceeds and this closing date, since questions on such auctions are usually set around exactly those four details.

The correct answer is Namami Gange. Gifts and mementos presented to the Prime Minister are offered through a public e-auction, and the money they raise is directed to the Namami Gange programme, which works to conserve and rejuvenate the river Ganga. This is what gives the initiative its purpose: an object of personal courtesy becomes a contribution to a national mission. Option A, the Swachh Bharat Mission, deals with sanitation and cleanliness and is not named as the recipient of these proceeds. Option C, the Jal Jeevan Mission, is concerned with household tap water supply, and option D, the Atal Bhujal Yojana, with groundwater management; neither of them receives money from the auction of the mementos. Aspirants should link the PM Mementos e-auction firmly with Ganga conservation, since this pairing is the most frequently asked part of the scheme.

The correct answer is Andhra Pradesh. The collection being highlighted is the set of mementos that came to the Prime Minister from Andhra Pradesh, and among them is a wooden bullock cart made in the Kondapalli style, a craft that stands for rural life and traditional workmanship in that state. The same lot also carries a Kalamkari textile, another tradition associated with Andhra Pradesh. Option A, Odisha, is known for crafts such as Pattachitra and stone carving, but not for Kondapalli toys. Option B, Karnataka, has its own wooden craft traditions, such as the lacquered toys of Channapatna, which are often confused with Kondapalli work in examinations. Option D, Telangana, is a neighbouring state with crafts of its own, including Nirmal and Pembarthi work. Candidates should fix the pairing of Kondapalli and Kalamkari with Andhra Pradesh.
