Explanation
- A
2021-22
Option (a) claims the Jal Jeevan Mission was announced in the 2021-22 Union Budget. This option is selected as the official key by UPPSC for this specific administrative question regarding budget announcements of flagship schemes.
- B
2022-23
Option (b) claims the scheme was declared in the 2022-23 financial year budget. This is incorrect because the mission was already under implementation by this year, having been launched earlier.
- C
2020-21
Option (c) claims the scheme was declared in the 2020-21 financial year. While it followed the initial rollout, the financial year allocation tied to the official budget declaration corresponds to the correct choice.
- D
2019-20
Option (d) claims the scheme was declared in the 2019-20 financial year. Aspirants often confuse the initial announcement of the broader vision with the specific budgetary declaration year referenced in this exam question.
Summary. Official key is (a) 2021-22. The question tests the specific financial year in which the Jal Jeevan Mission was declared in the Union Budget according to official administrative records. Options (b), (c), and (d) suggest alternate financial years which do not match the official budgetary declaration timeline. A common pitfall is confusing the launch year of the scheme with its subsequent budgetary allocations. Only option (a) accurately reflects the correct official key provided for this UPPSC Prelims question.
