Question

In a landmark move, which of these State governments set up a Savarna Aayog, a commission to identify deprived and underprivileged families among upper castes?

• A. Uttar Pradesh
• B. Bihar
• C. Madhya Pradesh
• D. Rajasthan

Hint:

Bihar set up the Savarna Aayog to identify poor upper-caste families.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This question is a straightforward current-affairs recall, and the state that made this move in this period was Bihar.

1. Uttar Pradesh: Not the state that set up this particular commission.
2. Bihar: The Bihar state government constituted the Savarna Aayog to find and support poor families among the upper castes, a step aimed at extending welfare benefits beyond caste-based reservation categories.
3. Madhya Pradesh: Not linked to this initiative.
4. Rajasthan: Also not linked to this initiative.

So the correct answer is option B, Bihar.
