Match List I with List II:
List-I (Scheme)
(a) Mukhya Mantri Roshni Yojana
(b) Himachal Pradesh Horticulture Development Project
(c) Mukhya Mantri Gram Path Yojana
(d) Swavalamban Yojana
List-II (Starting Year)
(i) 2015
(ii) 2019
(iii) 2009
(iv) 2020
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(A) (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iv)
(B) (a)-(i), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii)
(C) (a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
(D) (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
This question appears to be flawed, as none of the options correctly match all the schemes with their official launch years. However, based on the most accurate data, there is a “best fit” answer.
The most likely intended answer is not determinable due to significant inaccuracies in the options.
Explanation of Correct Launch Years
Here are the correct launch years for the schemes listed, based on official government sources:
- (a) Mukhya Mantri Roshni Yojana: This scheme for providing free electricity connections to poor families was launched in 2019.
- (b) Himachal Pradesh Horticulture Development Project: The major World Bank-assisted project was launched in 2016.
- (c) Mukhya Mantri Gram Path Yojana: This scheme to connect small villages with all-weather roads was approved and launched in 2020.
- (d) Mukhya Mantri Swavalamban Yojana: This flagship scheme to promote youth entrepreneurship was launched in 2018.
Why the Provided Options are Incorrect
If we try to match the correct years to the options provided:
- (a) Mukhya Mantri Roshni Yojana → 2019 (ii)
- (c) Mukhya Mantri Gram Path Yojana → 2020 (iv)
No single option among (A), (B), (C), or (D) contains both of these correct matches. For example, Option (A) has (a)-(ii) but incorrectly has (c)-(i). Option (C) has (c)-(iv) but incorrectly has (a)-(iii). This confirms that the question is flawed in its construction.
