Q260. Which of these helps improve Ease of Doing Business ( EoDB )?

  1. (a) Long delays
  2. (b) Simple rules
  3. (c) High taxes
  4. (d) Lots of paperwork
Answer & solution

Answer: (b) Simple rules

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Simple rules
Ease of Doing Business ( EoDB ) measures the regulatory environment for starting and operating a business. Simple, transparent, and streamlined rules directly improve EoDB by: reducing compliance burden, cutting time and cost of obtaining licenses/permits, enabling faster dispute resolution, and encouraging entrepreneurship and investment. India's EoDB rank improved significantly (from 142nd in 2014 to 63rd in 2019, World Bank) through regulatory simplification.
Option 1 (Long delays): Delays in approvals, permits, and dispute resolution worsen EoDB — increasing time and cost of doing business.
Option 3 (High taxes): High tax rates increase cost of doing business, discouraging investment and entrepreneurship — negatively impact EoDB .
Option 4 (Lots of paperwork): Excessive documentation requirements increase compliance costs and time — a key barrier to ease of doing business.

PM JANMAN covers 9 ministries with 11 critical interventions including housing, clean water, roads, telecom, electricity, education, health, and livelihood for PVTG habitations.
Option 2 (SPMRM): Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission focuses on development of rural clusters with urban amenities; not specifically for PVTGs.
Option 3 ( Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana): A broader tribal welfare scheme from 2014; PM JANMAN is the specific 2023 scheme for PVTGs.

  1. (a) Government employees
  2. (b) Senior citizens only
  3. (c) Unorganized sector workers
  4. (d) Students
Answer & solution

Answer: (c) Unorganized sector workers

Correct Answer: Option 3 – Unorganized sector workers
Atal Pension Yojana (APY) was launched on May 9, 2015, replacing the Swavalamban Scheme (NPS-Lite). It is targeted at workers in the unorganized sector (informal economy) — daily wage labourers, small traders, self-employed individuals — who lack access to formal pension systems. Subscribers aged 18–40 can join; they receive a guaranteed minimum pension of ₹1,000–₹5,000 per month at age 60, depending on contributions. The government co-contributed 50% (or ₹1,000/year, whichever is lower) for eligible subscribers from 2015–2020.
Option 1 (Government employees): Government employees have their own pension systems (Old Pension Scheme/NPS for central government). APY is specifically for unorganized sector workers without formal employment.
Option 2 (Senior citizens only): APY is for working-age adults (18–40 years) who build up a pension corpus for their old age — not exclusively for current senior citizens.
Option 4 (Students): Students are not the target beneficiaries of APY.

Q297. What does the Happiness Index primarily measure?

  1. (a) National income
  2. (b) Industrial growth
  3. (c) Subjective well-being
  4. (d) Population density
Answer & solution

Answer: (c) Subjective well-being

Correct Answer: Option 3 – Subjective well-being
The World Happiness Report's Happiness Index primarily measures subjective well-being — how people themselves evaluate their own lives. The main measure used is the Cantril Ladder (life evaluation question): respondents rate their current life on a scale from 0 (worst possible life) to 10 (best possible life). This self-reported, subjective life satisfaction score forms the core of the happiness ranking. Additional factors (GDP, social support, health, freedom, generosity, perceptions of corruption) help explain the variation in happiness scores across countries.
Option 1 (National income): GDP per capita is ONE explanatory variable in the WHR model — but the primary measure is subjective well-being (life satisfaction), not income itself.
Option 2 (Industrial growth): Industrial/economic growth metrics are not the primary measurement of the Happiness Index.
Option 4 (Population density): Population density has no role in the Happiness Index methodology.

Q298. Which Indian government scheme aims to provide free LPG connections to below-poverty-line families?

  1. (a) Ujjwala Yojana
  2. (b) Ayushman Bharat
  3. (c) Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi
  4. (d) Stand-Up India
Answer & solution

Answer: (a) Ujjwala Yojana

Correct Answer: Option 1 – Ujjwala Yojana
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) was launched on May 1, 2016 by PM Narendra Modi from Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, to provide free LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) connections to women from Below Poverty Line (BPL) households. The objective is to replace traditional cooking fuels (wood, coal, dung cakes) with clean cooking gas, reducing indoor air pollution which causes respiratory diseases. Over 10 crore (100 million) LPG connections have been provided under PMUY.
Option 2 (Ayushman Bharat): PM Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY) provides health insurance coverage of ₹5 lakh per family per year for hospitalisation — a health scheme, not LPG.
Option 3 (PM-KISAN): Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi gives ₹6,000/year direct income support to farmer families — an agricultural support scheme, not LPG.
Option 4 (Stand-Up India): Provides bank loans between ₹10 lakh–₹1 crore to SC/ST and women entrepreneurs for greenfield enterprises — a financial inclusion/entrepreneurship scheme.

Option 1 (Currency value): Exchange rates or currency strength are not among the six indicators used in the WHR happiness score.
Option 3 (Living Standard): While GDP per capita captures economic aspects of living standards, 'living standard' per se is not listed as a separate social factor in the WHR framework.
Option 4 (Tax collection rate): Tax rates or government revenue are not factors in the WHR happiness methodology.
