Verified against the official question paper. Answer as per the official MPPSC answer key.

In Madhya Pradesh the amount of financial help given to the marriageable girls of poor families under "Mukhya Mantri Kanyadan Yojna" was increased in the year 2019 to

(a)Rs. 30,000.00
(b)Rs. 40,000.00
(c)Rs. 51,000.00
(d)Rs. 61,000.00

Answer

Why

Correct — C, Rs 51,000. In 2019 the Madhya Pradesh government raised the financial assistance under the Mukhyamantri Kanyadan (Kanya Vivah) Yojana for daughters of poor families to Rs 51,000, up from the earlier Rs 28,000. The scheme helps meet the marriage expenses of eligible poor girls who are residents of the state.

Why the others are wrong

(a)Rs. 30,000.00 — Not the 2019 figure; the assistance was raised to Rs 51,000, not Rs 30,000.
(b)Rs. 40,000.00 — Not the 2019 figure; an intermediate value used as a distractor.
(d)Rs. 61,000.00 — A tempting higher figure, but the 2019 revision set the amount at Rs 51,000, not Rs 61,000.

Concept

The Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah / Kanyadan Yojana is a Madhya Pradesh social-welfare scheme that gives financial aid for the marriage of daughters of poor and eligible resident families. The assistance amount has been revised by successive state governments; the 2019 revision fixed it at Rs 51,000.

This is a state-scheme value question — MPPSC often tests the exact rupee figure and the year of revision for MP schemes. Note the amount has changed again under later governments, so pin it to 2019.

Key facts

Common traps

Memorising an outdated amount — the figure has changed across governments
Confusing the marriage-assistance scheme with Ladli Laxmi (girl-child savings) Yojana

MPPSC asks the precise rupee amount or the revision year of MP schemes — exact-figure recall.
