Ro-Ro ferry started by Prime Minister of India connects which two places ?

Exam Year(s)

JPSC Civil Services - 2021,

Answer: A

The Ro-Ro ferry connects Ghoga and Dahej.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Ghogha-Dahej roll-on roll-off ferry across the Gulf of Khambhat in October 2017. It links Ghogha in Bhavnagar district on the Saurashtra side with Dahej in Bharuch district, cutting a road journey of over 300 km to about 30 km by sea.

Ghogha is in Bhavnagar district, which is why the distractors mix the names, but the ferry's terminals are Ghogha and Dahej. Somnath and Dwarka are not connected by this service.

Consider the following pairs of committees and their mandate, which were in the news recently :

CommitteeMandate
A. U.K. SinhaTransfer of Surplus reserves from SEBI to the Government
B. Nandan NilekaniDeepening digital payments
C. Bimal JalanEconomic capital framework

Which of the above are correctly matched ?

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Exam Year(s)

KPSC KAS - 2020,

Answer: B

Pairs B and C are correctly matched, so the answer is B and C only.

The RBI's committee headed by Nandan Nilekani (2019) recommended ways of deepening digital payments (B). The committee headed by Bimal Jalan reviewed the RBI's economic capital framework, which decided how much of its surplus reserves the RBI could transfer to the government (C).

The U.K. Sinha committee was the RBI's expert committee on micro, small and medium enterprises. It had nothing to do with transferring SEBI's reserves, so pair A is wrong.

Recently, which of the following crop was accorded with Geographical Indication (GI) Tag ?

Exam Year(s)

KPSC KAS - 2020,

Answer: B

The crop given the GI tag was Tur dal of Kalaburagi.

Kalaburagi tur dal (pigeon pea) received a Geographical Indication tag in 2019. The district, in the Kalyana Karnataka region, is known as the 'tur bowl' of the state, and its dal is valued for its taste, quick cooking and long shelf life, which are attributed to the region's black soils.

Jowar of Bijapur, cotton of Raichur and wheat of Bidar are important crops of north Karnataka, but none of them was the crop that received the GI tag.
