Which district was ranked the best-performing district under the PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana?

The correct answer is 100. The scheme was designed for one hundred districts selected on three measures: low agricultural productivity, low cropping intensity and limited disbursement of agricultural credit. Because the districts are chosen on need rather than on population or area, the number is fixed, and the stated ambition is to make every one of these hundred districts truly rich in grain and in prosperity. Options A, C and D are plausible-looking round numbers of the kind used in other central programmes, but none of them is the figure for this scheme. What makes the coverage distinctive is the method rather than the count: each district writes its own action plan around its soil, rainfall, cropping pattern, water availability and infrastructure, a District Dhan-Dhaanya Samiti coordinates the work, and 36 central schemes of 11 ministries and departments are converged with state schemes in that single plan.

The correct answer is promoting soil health through balanced use of fertilisers. The campaign is to be organised across all states from 22 October to 30 November 2026, and the minister asked state governments and the authorities concerned to take part actively so that it reaches farmers. The stated purpose is the balanced and judicious use of fertilisers, together with sustainable farming practices that keep soil fertile, protect the environment and conserve natural resources for later generations. Option B is wrong because no export target of that kind was set out at the event; the emphasis was on outcomes in the districts rather than on trade. Option C describes a power-sector benefit and does not belong to this campaign. Option D is wrong because the scheme works through existing institutions, including Krishi Vigyan Kendra scientists and district administrations, instead of creating new universities.

The correct answer is nine. The partnership covers a cluster of five Government ITIs in Surat in Gujarat and a cluster of four Government ITIs in Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, which adds up to nine institutes in two states. Option A, five, is only the Surat cluster, so it leaves out Andhra Pradesh altogether. Option B does not match either cluster or their sum. Option D, fourteen, is drawn from a different count in the announcement, namely the first 14 Strategic Investment Plans approved under the scheme, which together carry a proposed investment of 3,446 crore rupees. The approved investment for these nine institutes is about 440 crore rupees, split as 240 crore rupees for Surat and 200 crore rupees for Visakhapatnam.

The correct answer is 51 per cent. Dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles are being set up to manage the upgradation and operations of the two ITI clusters, and in them the industry partner AM/NS India holds a majority stake of 51 per cent. Option A, 24.5 per cent, is the equity that the Government of India holds, and the same share is held by the respective state government, so together the two governments account for 49 per cent. Option B is therefore the combined government share rather than the company's. Option D is not part of this structure at all. The majority stake is what gives the arrangement its industry-led character, with the company bringing manufacturing expertise while NAMTECH supports curriculum and faculty work.

The correct answer is 60,000 crore rupees. PM-SETU, which stands for Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs, is a flagship scheme with that total outlay, and it seeks to change vocational education through deep industry participation and institutional reform. Option A, 440 crore rupees, is only the approved investment for the Surat and Visakhapatnam clusters taken together. Option B, 3,446 crore rupees, is the total approved proposed investment across the first 14 Strategic Investment Plans cleared under the scheme, so it is a subset and not the outlay. Option D confuses the money with the target, since 1,000 is the number of Government ITIs the scheme plans to upgrade, alongside strengthening five National Skill Training Institutes.
