When was PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana launched by the Prime Minister?

The correct answer is 100 districts. The scheme was designed to speed up agricultural development in districts identified on three counts: low agricultural productivity, low cropping intensity and low disbursement of agricultural credit. Every one of these districts has uploaded a District Action Plan, received feedback on it and filed data against output indicators up to July 2026, so the count of 100 recurs through the whole review. Option D is the trap most likely to catch an unprepared candidate, because 121 is also a real number in this scheme, but it counts indicators rather than districts: 121 indicators in all, made up of 74 output indicators and 47 outcome indicators. Options A and C are district counts associated with other government programmes and do not appear in this release. Fix the pair in memory: 100 districts, 121 indicators.

The correct answer is 38.85. The average score of the 100 districts across the six objectives of the scheme stood at 22.54 in April 2026 and reached 38.85 in July 2026. The other options are all genuine figures from the same review, and telling them apart is the whole skill being tested. Option A is the starting point in April rather than the level reached in July. Option B is the size of the improvement, that is the difference of 16.31 points between the two readings, so a candidate who confuses a change with a level will pick it. Option D is the July score of a single objective, governance and service delivery, which was the highest scoring of the six and had risen from 7.94. For revision, hold the three numbers as a sentence: from 22.54 to 38.85, a gain of 16.31 points.

The correct answer is 36 schemes of 11 ministries and departments, working along with state schemes and participation from the private sector. Option A simply swaps the two numbers, and that swap is the commonest error in the examination hall, so read the order carefully: the smaller number belongs to the ministries and the larger to the schemes. Options C and D reuse the indicator counts. There are 47 outcome indicators and 74 output indicators, which together make the 121 indicators fixed across the 36 schemes for monitoring against annual targets, and neither 47 nor 74 counts schemes. One more thread of convergence appears in the review: the Department of Public Enterprises has allowed central public sector enterprises to adopt PM-DDKY districts for corporate social responsibility work in 2026-27 and 2027-28.

The correct answer is 43.4 per cent. The Minister cited the decline in out-of-pocket expenditure as an indicator of the growing financial protection available to citizens, and listed it alongside other outcomes of the health-system transformation. Out-of-pocket expenditure is the share of health spending that a household pays directly from its own pocket at the time of treatment, rather than through insurance or government funding, so a falling share signals that public schemes are absorbing more of the cost. In the same address he noted that institutional deliveries have crossed ninety per cent, that more than 1.75 lakh Ayushman Arogya Mandirs are working across the country, and that 16 new AIIMS have been set up in twelve years, taking the total to 23. The other options are nearby percentages of the kind used as distractors, and only the exact figure earns the mark.

The correct answer is Andhra Pradesh, 41 parameters. Speaking at the inauguration of the new health facilities in the state, the Union Health Minister praised the Sanjeevani programme for carrying healthcare to people's doorsteps and making testing available for this many health parameters. He appreciated the state's approach of bringing screening closer to communities, said such initiatives are valuable models for strengthening primary healthcare, and expressed interest in examining whether the model could be replicated at the national level. Options A, C and D pair a neighbouring state with a different count of parameters, and each is plausible enough to catch a candidate who remembers the name of the programme but not the state or the number. The safe way to hold this fact is to attach Sanjeevani to Andhra Pradesh, the same state where the Critical Care Blocks and laboratories were opened on the same day.
