Question

Which scheme is not a centrally sponsored one?

• A. Jai Kisan Rin Mukti Yojana
• B. PMFBY
• C. PM-AASHA
• D. Rashtriya Gokul Mission

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Jai Kisan Rin Mukti Yojana

• Correct Answer: Option A) Jai Kisan Rin Mukti Yojana

• The Jai Kisan Rin Mukti Yojana is not a centrally sponsored scheme because it is a state-level initiative launched by specific state governments to provide loan waivers and financial relief to farmers. Unlike centrally sponsored schemes, which are funded jointly by the Central and State governments with specific guidelines from the Centre, this scheme is implemented and funded primarily at the state level.

• The other options are all centrally sponsored schemes:

• PMFBY (Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana): This is a centrally sponsored crop insurance scheme launched in 2016 to provide insurance coverage and financial support to farmers in case of crop failure.

• PM-AASHA (Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay SanraksHan Abhiyan): This is a centrally sponsored umbrella scheme launched in 2018 to ensure remunerative prices to farmers for their produce.

• Rashtriya Gokul Mission: This is a centrally sponsored scheme launched in 2014 for the development and conservation of indigenous bovine breeds.

• Centrally sponsored schemes are characterized by central government funding (usually 60-90% of the total cost), uniform implementation guidelines across states, and monitoring by central authorities. State-specific schemes like Jai Kisan Rin Mukti Yojana operate independently of this framework.
