Which of the following Schemes in Uttar Pradesh were introduced in Budget of 2021-22? I. Atmanirbhar Krishak Samanvit Vikas Yojna II. Mukhya Mantri Saksham Suposhan Yojna III. Mukhya Mantri Pravasi Shramik Udhyamita Vikas Yojna IV. Yuva Udhyamita Vikas Abhiyan Select the correct answer from the codes given below. Codes:
- (a)I, II and III
- (b)II, III and IV
- (c)I, II and IV
- (d)I, III and IV
Correct — A, I, II and III. Per the official UPPSC key, the schemes introduced in Uttar Pradesh's 2021-22 Budget among those listed are I (Atmanirbhar Krishak Samanvit Vikas Yojna — integrated development for self-reliant farmers), II (Mukhya Mantri Saksham Suposhan Yojna — nutrition-focused) and III (Mukhya Mantri Pravasi Shramik Udhyamita Vikas Yojna — entrepreneurship for returning migrant workers). Item IV, Yuva Udhyamita Vikas Abhiyan, is the odd one out and is not counted among this 2021-22 Budget set — so the correct combination excludes IV, i.e. option (a).
- (b)II, III and IV — Wrong — it includes IV (Yuva Udhyamita Vikas Abhiyan), which is not part of the 2021-22 Budget set per the key, and it drops I.
- (c)I, II and IV — Wrong — it again includes IV and drops III (Mukhya Mantri Pravasi Shramik Udhyamita Vikas Yojna).
- (d)I, III and IV — Wrong — it includes IV and drops II (Mukhya Mantri Saksham Suposhan Yojna).
This is a UP state-specific current-affairs item on schemes named in the 2021-22 Uttar Pradesh Budget (presented in February 2021). The three that belong to this set target, respectively, integrated support for self-reliant farmers, child/maternal nutrition, and self-employment for migrant labour who returned during the COVID period. The listed 'Yuva Udhyamita Vikas Abhiyan' (youth-entrepreneurship) is the item that does not fit this particular Budget set.
- The UP 2021-22 Budget was presented in February 2021 by the state government.
- Per the official key, schemes I, II and III belong to the 2021-22 Budget set; IV does not.
- I = Atmanirbhar Krishak Samanvit Vikas Yojna (self-reliant farmers, integrated development).
- II = Saksham Suposhan Yojna (nutrition); III = Pravasi Shramik Udhyamita Vikas Yojna (migrant-worker self-employment).
Only option (a) omits IV → I, II and III.
- Guessing from scheme names alone — several UP schemes have very similar 'Udhyamita/Vikas' titles.
- Picking an option that includes the extra scheme (IV) instead of the one that omits it.
UPPSC regularly asks which named schemes appeared in a particular UP Budget/year — use elimination on the option that isolates the odd scheme rather than recalling every name.
