Q321. The following question consists of two statements, one labeled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). Examine these two statements carefully and select the correct answer using the codes given below. Assertion (A): The expansion of regional air connectivity in Rajasthan under the UDAN scheme has heavily relied on upgrading existing state government airstrips. Reason (R): Building completely new greenfield airports in every district of Rajasthan is highly capital intensive and requires extensive land acquisition.
Explanation
The expansion of air connectivity in Rajasthan under the UDAN scheme has effectively utilized existing state government airstrips to save costs. Building entirely new greenfield airports in every district is prohibitively expensive and involves complex land acquisition processes. Therefore, upgrading existing infrastructure is a more viable and efficient strategy for improving regional flight accessibility and connecting smaller cities to the network.

Q322. Consider the following statements regarding the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC): I. It provides free travel to women on all its air-conditioned luxury buses on ordinary days. II. It operates inter-state bus services to neighboring states like Gujarat, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. III. ‘Blue Line’ buses are the premium electric fleet of RSRTC. IV. Concessional travel is provided to senior citizens on standard RSRTC buses. Which of the above combination of statements is incorrect?

The Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation provides essential inter-state and intra-state connectivity. While it offers various concessions to specific groups, it does not provide free travel to women on all luxury buses every day. Additionally, Blue Line buses refer to specific ordinary services rather than a premium electric fleet. These distinctions are important for understanding the corporation’s diverse service categories.
