Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

Correct — A, Chief Minister Abhyudaya Yojna (Mukhyamantri Abhyudaya Yojana). Per the official key, the 2021-22 UP budget provision to give tablets to students was tied to the Abhyudaya Yojana — the state's flagship free-coaching initiative for competitive-exam aspirants, launched on 16 February 2021 by CM Yogi Adityanath, under which students preparing for exams such as UPSC/UPPSC, NEET and JEE receive free coaching and mentoring from serving officers. (The scheme itself is well documented; the specific tablet-distribution detail is taken from the exam/budget framing rather than independently verified here.)

Why the other options are wrong — (b) This names an employment/self-employment-oriented scheme; the student device provision in the 2021-22 budget was not announced under a 'Rozgar' (employment) yojana.  (c) A child-welfare/social-support scheme (UP's Bal Seva Yojana was framed to support children affected by COVID-19), not a programme for distributing tablets to exam students.  (d) A plausible-sounding but generic label; it is not the specific scheme the budget named for the student-tablet provision.

Concept: Mukhyamantri Abhyudaya Yojana is a UP government initiative launched in February 2021 that provides free coaching to aspirants of major competitive examinations (UPSC/UPPSC civil services, NEET, JEE and others), with guidance and mentoring from serving IAS/IPS/IFS and other officers. It combines classroom and online support and is the scheme to which the 2021-22 budget attached a plan to give students digital devices (tablets).
