Quiz 6 — Schools & Schemes: KVS, NVS, KGBV, Scholarships

All four are correct. Ayushman Arogya Mandir — the renamed Health and Wellness Centres — is the preventive primary-care arm and the larger one; PM-JAY is the insurance arm, giving ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary hospitalisation, cashless and paperless at any empanelled public or private hospital anywhere in India, with no limit on family size or age and pre-existing conditions covered from day one, at nil cost to the beneficiary. The October 2024 extension to all citizens aged 70 and above regardless of income moved the scheme from purely means-tested to carrying a universal element for the elderly. No planted error. The standing criticism is worth carrying: it covers hospitalisation, not outpatient care — yet most Indian health spending, and most of the impoverishment it causes, is outpatient.

Pre-Matric scholarships serve SC, ST, OBC, minority and disabled students up to Class X and Post-Matric the same categories from Class XI onwards, administered by the Ministries of Social Justice and Empowerment, Tribal Affairs and Minority Affairs and disbursed through the States. The National Scholarship Portal at scholarships.gov.in is the single window carrying over 100 central and State schemes, requiring Aadhaar and a bank account with no application fee, running roughly September to November with DBT credit between January and March. PM YASASVI — PM Young Achievers Scholarship Award Scheme for Vibrant India — serves OBC, EBC and De-notified Tribe families. (b), (c) and (d) shuffle these; the one to fix is that "matric" marks Class X, so PRE-matric is up to Class X and POST-matric begins at Class XI.

Both are true, and the second states the design insight that follows from the first: because construction is not usage, SBM, launched on 2 October 2014, paired a subsidy for construction with campaign, branding, school activity and community pressure. Rural India was declared open-defecation-free on 2 October 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, and Phase II targets ODF-Plus — sustaining the behaviour and adding solid and liquid waste management. (b) denies a link that is the whole rationale. (c) and (d) reject the record. The school component made a toilet for girls compulsory, which is directly relevant to a school head; and the standing criticism is that ODF declaration was self-reported by States, with independent surveys finding continuing open defecation in some declared-ODF areas.
