The Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat programme was formally launched on 31 October 2016. It promotes cultural, linguistic and social exchange among States and Union Territories. Although it was announced in 2015, the formal launch took place in 2016, making 2015 the closest but incorrect option. Exam tip: remember the announcement year and the launch year separately.
The Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive (PRASAD) was launched in 2014-15, so 2014 is the correct option. Although 2015 may be associated with subsequent implementation, the programme was initiated in 2014. Exam tip: remember PRASAD for the development of pilgrimage destinations and spiritual heritage.
The Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY) was launched on 21 January 2015. It aimed to improve basic infrastructure and conserve cultural heritage in selected heritage cities. Although 2014 may be associated with the scheme’s planning phase, its launch year was 2015. Exam tip: Link HRIDAY with 2015 and heritage-city development.
The Hunar Haat programme was launched in 2016. It was intended to provide artisans, craftspeople and traditional skill holders a platform to display and sell their products. Although 2018 may be associated with later events or expansion, the programme began in 2016. Exam tip: remember Hunar Haat in connection with traditional artisans, indigenous crafts and market opportunities.
The Adopt a Heritage programme was launched by the Ministry of Tourism in 2017. It aims to improve visitor facilities at heritage sites through ‘Monument Mitras’. The year 2019 was not the launch year of the programme. Exam tip: Remember this scheme with the Ministry of Tourism and heritage-site amenities.
The Seva Bhoj Yojana was launched in 2018. It was a Ministry of Culture scheme that provided for reimbursement of certain central taxes on food distributed free of cost by religious and charitable institutions. 2017 was not the launch year. Exam tip: Remember this scheme by linking it with langars and community meals at religious institutions.
The ‘Dekho Apna Desh’ initiative was launched in 2020. It aimed to promote domestic tourism and create awareness of India’s cultural and natural heritage. 2021 is a later year, not the launch year. Exam tip: Remember this initiative with domestic tourism and the year 2020.
The Har Ghar Tiranga initiative was first conducted as a major nationwide campaign in 2022 under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. It encouraged citizens to hoist the Tricolour at their homes around Independence Day. The campaign was held again in 2023, but its first large national edition was in 2022. Exam tip: Remember Har Ghar Tiranga with 2022 and Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.
The Mera Gaon Meri Dharohar initiative was launched in 2023. It aims to document the arts, traditions, folklore, handicrafts, and other cultural heritage of India’s villages. Although 2022 was important for many Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav activities, this initiative was launched in 2023. Exam tip: Remember it in connection with rural cultural mapping and the Ministry of Culture.
The National Mission on Libraries was launched in 2012 under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. It aims to modernise and network public libraries and promote reading culture. 2014 can be a confusing distractor because several mission projects and activities became more visible later. Exam tip: Remember the year of a mission’s launch separately from the years when its projects were implemented.
The Ministry of Culture's Centenary and Anniversary Scheme concerns the commemoration of centenaries or anniversaries of eminent persons and significant historical events. Therefore, option A is correct. Sports training is not an objective of this cultural scheme. Exam tip: Match a scheme with the usual functions of its ministry; the Ministry of Culture deals with commemorations, heritage and cultural activities.
The financial assistance scheme for cultural functions is intended to provide monetary support for cultural programmes, events, and related activities. Therefore, option A is correct. Grants for irrigation belong to agricultural schemes, not to a cultural assistance scheme. Exam tip: When a scheme refers to ‘cultural functions’, associate it with the promotion of arts, culture, and cultural events.
The Tagore National Fellowship for Cultural Research was launched in 2009. It was intended to promote advanced research in diverse fields of culture. The year 2011 was not its launch year. Exam tip: learn major cultural schemes along with their year of introduction.
The Swachh Paryatan mobile application was launched in 2016. It was intended to promote cleanliness-related reporting and public participation at tourist destinations. Although 2014 is a close distractor because the Swachh Bharat Mission began that year, it is not the app’s launch year. Exam tip: distinguish the launch year of a mission from the years of its later digital initiatives.
The Swadesh Darshan scheme was launched by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, in 2014. It aimed to develop theme-based tourist circuits, such as Buddhist, Ramayana and coastal circuits. Although 2015 may be associated with later implementation, the scheme was launched in 2014. Exam tip: Remember Swadesh Darshan with the Ministry of Tourism and theme-based tourism circuits.
The Buddhist Circuit is one of the theme-based tourism circuits developed under the Ministry of Tourism's Swadesh Darshan Scheme. It connects important Buddhist pilgrimage and heritage sites with tourism infrastructure. Ayushman Bharat is a healthcare scheme, not a tourism programme. Exam tip: Associate tourism circuits such as Buddhist, Ramayana and Coastal Circuits with Swadesh Darshan.
Krishna Circuit is one of the tourism circuits developed under the Swadesh Darshan scheme. It focuses on developing religious, cultural, and tourist places associated with Lord Krishna. The National Food Security Scheme concerns food access, not tourism. Exam tip: In such questions, the term “circuit” is usually associated with a tourism scheme.
Ramayana Circuit is one of the theme-based tourism circuits developed under the Swadesh Darshan Scheme of the Government of India. It connects religious, cultural, and heritage sites associated with the Ramayana. Make in India promotes manufacturing and is not a tourism-circuit programme. Exam tip: Associate tourism circuits such as Ramayana, Buddhist, and Coastal Circuits with Swadesh Darshan.
The Iconic Tourist Sites development initiative was announced in 2018. It aimed to improve visitor facilities, accessibility, and the overall experience at selected major tourist and heritage destinations.

The Amrit Dharohar initiative focuses on wetland conservation, their sustainable use, and support for the livelihoods of local communities associated with them. Therefore, option A is correct.

The Swachh Paryatan mobile app was launched by the Ministry of Tourism in 2016. It was intended to help report cleanliness-related issues at tourist places and encourage citizen participation. Although 2018 is associated with later phases of cleanliness initiatives, it is not the app’s launch year. Exam tip: Remember 2016 for this tourism-focused digital cleanliness initiative.
The Namami Gange programme was approved in 2014 for pollution abatement, conservation and rejuvenation of the Ganga.

Exam tip: remember 2014 for approval and 2015 for the formal launch.
