Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsWith reference to Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana, consider the following statements:
1. It is an income transfer scheme launched by the state of Telangana
2. The scheme will be extended to farmers and to landless labourers as well.Which of the statement given above is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation:
Cash-transfer schemes by the state governments: Chhatisgarh and other states In this context, the Chhattisgarh government deserves compliments for launching the Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana (RGKNY).
RGKNY is an income transfer scheme at Rs 10,000/acre for paddy farmers and Rs 13,000/acre for sugarcane farmers.
The state’s chief minister has said that the scheme will be extended to farmers of other crops — in fact, to landless labourers as well.
On the face of it, RGKNY will help put money directly into the hands of farmers and poor agricultural labourers.
In kharif 2018-19, Telangana announced a cash transfer scheme of Rs 4,000/acre, per season — this was raised to Rs 5,000/acre per season in kharif 2019-20.
There is a live portal that gives the details of the scheme and its progress.
In the rabi season of 2018-19, the Odisha government launched the KALIA scheme-Krushak Assistance for Livelihood and Income Augmentation- on a somewhat similar pattern.
West Bengal’s Krishak Bandhu and Jharkhand’s Mukhya Mantri Krishi Aashirwad Yojana are the other income support schemes worth mentioningIncorrect

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statement is correct about Pangong Tso Lake?
1. Pangong Tso is an endorheic lake.
2. The lake is identified as a wetland with international significance under the Ramsar Convention.Choose the correct code using the option below:
Correct
About Pangong Tso Lake:
In the Ladakhi language, Pangong means extensive concavity, and Tso is a lake in Tibetan.
Pangong Tso is a long narrow, deep, endorheic (landlocked) lake
It is situated at a height of more than 14,000 ft in the Ladakh Himalayas.
The brackish water lake freezes over in winter and becomes ideal for ice skating and polo.
The lake is said to be in the process of being identified as a wetland with international significance under the Ramsar Convention and if everything goes as expected then the Pangong Lake will be the first in South Asia to be a trans-boundary wetland and that too under this convention.Incorrect

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsConsider the following pairs :
Terms sometimes seen in news – Context / Topic
1. Belle 2 experiment – Artificial Intelligence
2. ANITA – Neutrinos
3. CRISPR – Cas9 – Gene EditingWhich of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Correct
The ANITA experiment
- Four years ago an experiment had spotted a handful of instances of what seemed to be highly energetic neutrinos coming through the Earth.
- It was named Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment — a high-altitude helium balloon with an array of radio antennas, partially funded by NASA.
- The telescope could spot these neutrinos coming from the space and hitting the ice sheet in Antarctica.
- ANITA detected these particles, but instead of coming from the space, the neutrinos were found to be coming from the Earth’s surface without any source.
- These detections happened in 2016, then again in 2018, but there was no credible explanation.
- Physicists have been working to figure out if these results can be explained with our current models of physics or have something to do with the experimental set-up itself, or if something like the parallel universe does exist.
BELLE II
- Belle II is an upgraded detector to allow the experiment to record the enormous numbers of particle processes that are produced by the SuperKEKB accelerator.
- This experiment is designed to study violations of the Standard Model and dark matter.
- The Belle II experiment will accumulate 50 times more data than the previous experiment, Belle, and pursue violations of the symmetry between particles and anti-particles as well as new laws of physics. It is a grand collaboration of 700 scientists from 23 countries.
- Complementary to the direct search experiments being carried out at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Belle-II will indirectly probe new physics using intense electron-positron beams and a sensitive detector.
