How the exam will ask it
पूर्व
- PM-KISAN is a Central Sector Scheme, funded entirely by the Union Government.
- Under PM-KISAN, income support of Rs 6,000 per year is transferred in three equal instalments of Rs 2,000 directly to beneficiaries' bank accounts.
- PM-KISAN uses Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), which reduces intermediaries and leakages in subsidy delivery.
मुख्य
GS2/GS3: Farmer welfare and agrarian distress. PM-KISAN offers assured income support through DBT, easing input costs and credit stress for small farmers, but issues of exclusion of tenant farmers, land-record gaps and fixed amounts that do not track inflation remain. The way forward lies in digitised land records, inclusion of tenants and sharecroppers, and linking support with productivity and resilience measures.
Quick recall
Answer before you reveal
In Israel's unicameral Knesset of 120 members, the minimum number of seats needed to form a majority government is:
- 61
- 60
- 63
- 65
उत्तर पहा
उत्तर: A — Correct: 61 — A majority of the 120-seat Knesset is 61, so Netanyahu's bloc, on 53, needs partners. • 60 — wrong: 60 is exactly half of 120 and does not constitute a majority. • 63 — wrong: 63 is more than a bare majority; the threshold is 61. • 65 — wrong: 65 is not the legal threshold; the Knesset needs only 61 for a majority.
