Real questions that test this

निती आयोगाच्या 2017-2020 या त्रैवार्षिक आराखड्याची ही उद्दिष्ट्ये आहेत : The three year action agenda of NITI Aayog for 2017-2020 aimed at :

(a)सन 2022 पर्यंत शेतकऱ्यांचे उत्पन्न दुप्पट करणे. / Doubling farmers' income by 2022.

(b)सन 2022 पर्यंत प्रत्येक घरात वीजपुरवठा करणे. / Provision of electricity to all households by 2022.

(c)सन 2022 पर्यंत प्रत्येक राज्यात केंद्रीय विद्यापीठाची स्थापना करणे. / Establishing central universities in all states by 2022.

1)(a) फक्त बरोबर आहे. / (a) only is correct.
2)(b) आणि (c) फक्त बरोबर आहेत. / (b) and (c) only are correct.
3)(a) आणि (c) फक्त बरोबर आहेत. / (a) and (c) only are correct.
4)(a) आणि (b) फक्त बरोबर आहेत. / (a) and (b) only are correct.✓ Correct

NITI Aayog's 2017-2020 action agenda aimed at doubling farmers' income by 2022 and providing electricity to all households by 2022. Establishing central universities in all states was not part of this specific target list. Thus, (a) and (b) are correct.

खालील विधाने विचारात घ्या : Consider the following statements :

(a)भारतीय नियोजन आयोगाची जागा नीती आयोगाने जानेवारी 2015 पासून घेतली आहे. / Planning Commission of India was replaced by NITI Aayog in January, 2015.

(b)प्रमाणक स्थापक (नॉर्मेटीव्ह) नियोजन हे नीती आयोगाचे मार्गदर्शक तत्व आहे. / Normative Planning is a guiding principle of NITI Aayog.

1)(a) फक्त बरोबर / (a) only is correct
2)(b) फक्त बरोबर / (b) only is correct
3)(a) आणि (b) दोन्ही बरोबर / both (a) and (b) are correct✓ Correct
4)(a) आणि (b) दोन्ही चूक / both (a) and (b) are incorrect

Planning Commission was indeed replaced by NITI Aayog in January 2015, making statement (a) correct. Statement (b) is also correct as Normative Planning (guiding and policy-oriented approach rather than allocation of funds) serves as a guiding principle of NITI Aayog.

पुढील दोन विधानांपैकी कोणते योग्य आहे ? Which of the following two statements is/are correct ?

(a)कोणत्याही पार्टीला आर्थिक व्यवस्थेचा विकास कसा करावयाचा हे माहीत नाही म्हणून दोन्ही असुरक्षित आहेत.

(b)नेहरूंनी फाळणी नंतरच्या स्फोटक वातावरणात धर्मनिरपेक्षता पाळण्याऐवजी आर्थिक विकासाला प्रोत्साहित केले.

1)फक्त अ / Only a
2)फक्त ब / Only b
3)दोन्ही अ आणि ब / Both a and b
4)दोन्ही नाहीत / Neither a nor b✓ Correct

Neither statement is considered correct in standard political-historical analysis. Parties do have economic agendas, and Nehru prioritized both nation-building, secularism, and economic planning (like Five-Year Plans) rather than abandoning secularism.

राज्य सरकारशी सल्लामसलत करून प्रत्येक राज्यासाठी विवक्षित उद्दिष्टे ठरवून देणे हे कुठल्या पंचवार्षिक योजनेचे वैशिष्ट्य होते ? Which Five Year Plan had a unique feature to lay down specific targets for each state in consultation with the State Government ?

1)10वी पंचवार्षिक योजना / 10th Five Year Plan✓ Correct
2)8वी पंचवार्षिक योजना / 8th Five Year Plan
3)12वी पंचवार्षिक योजना / 12th Five Year Plan
4)11वी पंचवार्षिक योजना / 11th Five Year Plan

The 10th Five Year Plan introduced a unique feature of setting specific, target-driven goals for individual states in consultation with state governments to foster cooperative federalism.

सातव्या पंचवार्षिक योजनेत सर्वाधिक वाटा ________ ला दिला गेला. / The largest share of allocation in the Seventh Five Year Plan went to the :

1)कृषी आणि संदेशवहन क्षेत्र / Agriculture and Communication Sector
2)औद्योगिक आणि संदेशवहन क्षेत्र / Industrial and Communication Sector
3)ऊर्जा क्षेत्र / Energy Sector✓ Correct
4)वाहतूक आणि संदेशवहन क्षेत्र / Transport and Communication Sector

In the Seventh Five Year Plan (1985-1990), the highest priority and largest share of resource allocation was given to the energy sector to tackle power shortages.
