Q7523. Identify the incorrect statement distinguishing the DDUGJY (Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana) from the Saubhagya scheme in Rajasthan:
Explanation
DDUGJY, or Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana, was specifically focused on rural electrification and infrastructure, rather than urban areas. Its main goals were to separate agricultural and non-agricultural feeders and strengthen rural distribution networks. While Saubhagya targeted individual household connections, DDUGJY worked on the broader village-level infrastructure, and both were essential for improving the state’s power access.

Q7524. Based on the statements given below, choose the correct option: Statement I: A judge of the Rajasthan High Court can resign from his office by writing under his hand addressed to the Chief Justice of India. Statement II: A judge of the Rajasthan High Court can be removed from his office by the President on the recommendation of the Parliament.
Explanation
A High Court judge can resign by writing to the President of India, not the Chief Justice of India. The removal of a judge is a formal process where the President acts on a recommendation made by Parliament. This recommendation requires an address passed by a special majority in both Houses on grounds of proven misbehavior or incapacity.

Q7525. Consider the following statements regarding the Maharashtra sugar model: Statement I: The sugar industry in Maharashtra is dominated by private multinational corporations. Statement II: Cooperative sugar mills form the backbone of the sugar industry in Maharashtra.
Explanation
The sugar industry in Maharashtra is not characterized by the dominance of private multinational corporations. Instead, its success and structure are built upon a robust network of cooperative sugar mills. These cooperatives are owned and operated by the farmers themselves, who serve as both the suppliers of sugarcane and the primary stakeholders. Therefore, the statement regarding private multinational dominance is factually incorrect for this region.

Q7527. Which of the following locations is an odd one out, as it is NOT traditionally considered one of the sacred sites (Satharis) associated with Jambhoji?
Explanation
Galtaji is a major center for the Ramanandi Vaishnava sect and is not associated with Jambhoji or the Bishnoi sect. In contrast, Pipasar is Jambhoji’s birthplace, Samrathal Dhora is where he established the Bishnoi order and performed penance, and Mukam is his final resting place. These three sites, along with others like Janglu and Lohawat, are the primary ‘Satharis’ or sacred locations for Bishnoi devotees.

Q7528. Identify the statement that does not represent an advantage of the Subsidiary Alliance for the East India Company:
Explanation
The Subsidiary Alliance often had a negative impact on internal governance. Since rulers were protected from internal revolts by British troops, they often became indifferent to the welfare of their subjects or the efficiency of their administration. This frequently led to "misgovernance," which the British later used as a pretext to annex these states directly, as seen in the case of Awadh.
