Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to the Rooppur Nuclear Project recently seen in news:
1. It is Nepal’s first nuclear power plant under an Indo-Russian deal.
2. It is being built on the eastern bank of the Brahmputra river.
3. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) is the project’s lead authority from India.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: D
Explanation:
- Statements 1 and 2 are incorrect: The Rooppur project is the first initiative under an Indo-Russian deal to undertake atomic energy projects in third countries. It is Bangladesh’s first nuclear power plant. It consists of twin 1,200-megawatt units. Its construction started in 2017. After completion it will become Bangladesh’s largest power station in terms of generating capacity once fully operational. It is located in Pabna district, 160 km from Dhaka (on the eastern bank of Padma (Ganga) river). This project is supported by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Statement 3 is correct: The Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) is the project’s lead authority from India. India is not a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and hence cannot participate directly in construction of atomic power reactors. NSG is a group of nuclear supplier countries established in 1974. It aims to contribute to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons through the implementation of two sets of Guidelines for nuclear exports and nuclear-related exports.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
1 pointsSVAMITVA stands for Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas. With respect to this scheme, consider the following statements:
- It is a centrally sponsored scheme launched by the Ministry of Rural Development.
- It aims to facilitate rural planning by creating precise property maps.
- Property/asset created under the scheme can be used as collateral for loans.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect: SVAMITVA stands for Survey of Villages and Mapping with Improvised Technology in Village Areas. It’s a Central Sector Scheme launched on National Panchayati Raj Day (24th April) in 2021. Nodal Ministry is Ministry of Panchayati Raj. Stakeholders involved are Ministry of Panchayati Raj, State Revenue Department, State Panchayati Raj Department and Survey of India.
- Statement 2 is correct: The scheme will facilitate rural planning by creating precise property maps and improve Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs). Legal ownership rights will reduce conflicts over property. Improved property records will help to prevent illegal occupations. “Records of Rights” are provided to rural households using the latest drone technology and continuously operating reference station (CORS) technology to capture images. Such accurate maps clearly demarcate land holdings in a very short time compared to on-ground physical measurements.
- Statement 3 is correct: The scheme aims for financial Asset Creation. Such property can be used as collateral for loans and other financial benefits. Land parcels will gain market value and facilitate credit availability in villages. It also enables determination and collection of property taxes. States with empowered Gram Panchayats will directly benefit from property tax revenue.
