Q212. What is the primary cause of the rapid real estate and construction boom in cities like Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Kota?

The rapid growth in real estate within major Rajasthani cities is primarily driven by the migration of people from rural areas seeking better employment and education.

This urban influx necessitates the development of new townships and infrastructure, fueling a continuous construction boom in these nodes.

Q214. The construction sector, while intrinsically linked to real estate, is technically classified under which broad sector of the economy in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) accounting?
Explanation
In Gross State Domestic Product accounting, the construction sector is classified under the secondary sector because it involves the creation of physical infrastructure and buildings. Although it is closely linked to real estate, which is a service, construction itself is a manufacturing-adjacent activity. This sector is a major employer and a significant contributor to the state’s economic output, reflecting ongoing urban and industrial development.

Q220. Consider the following statements regarding the energy scenario in Rajasthan: I. Rajasthan has the highest installed capacity of solar power among all Indian states. II. The state is a net importer of electricity during peak daytime hours due to low generation. III. Thermal power continues to play a critical role in providing base-load grid stability. Which of the above combination of statements is correct?
Explanation
Rajasthan maintains the highest installed solar power capacity in India due to favorable geographical conditions. While solar energy provides significant power during the day, thermal power remains essential for grid stability by providing a reliable base load. The state often acts as a net exporter during peak solar generation hours, rather than a net importer, due to its surplus production.
