How the exam will ask it

പ്രിലിംസ്

  • Project K-Monitor is a Karnataka government exercise to evaluate the impact of guarantee and other schemes.
  • The exercise is to be taken up across all Assembly constituencies of the State, not only selected districts.
  • Scheme evaluation looks at outcomes and reach, while budget tracking looks only at expenditure.

മെയിൻസ്

GS-2 (governance, welfare schemes, accountability). Large welfare guarantees raise questions of fiscal burden and delivery; Project K-Monitor's constituency-wide evaluation is a step towards outcome-based monitoring of schemes. The way forward is transparent, independent and data-driven assessment, with findings used to correct leakages and target beneficiaries better.
