Difficulty: MediumExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the passage given below carefully:

In August 2025, the Ministry of Culture released the operational framework for the National Heritage Digitization and Conservation Scheme (NHDCS). Under Section 4 of the guidelines, all Grade-I protected monuments under state jurisdiction must undergo high-resolution 3D laser scanning within 18 months of notification. Conversely, Grade-II heritage structures are explicitly exempted from mandatory 3D laser scanning and are instead required to submit biannual photographic documentation. Furthermore, the framework mandates that central financial assistance of up to 75% is reserved strictly for heritage structures established prior to 1857, whereas structures erected post-1857 are restricted to a maximum co-financing cap of 50% from central funds.

Statement: Under the NHDCS framework of August 2025, Grade-II heritage structures built prior to 1857 must undergo high-resolution 3D laser scanning within 18 months to be eligible for conservation guidelines compliance.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False because Grade-II structures are explicitly exempted from mandatory 3D laser scanning.
The statement is False because the passage explicitly exempts Grade-II structures from mandatory 3D laser scanning, requiring only biannual photographic documentation instead. The 18-month 3D laser scanning condition applies strictly to Grade-I monuments.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target category of heritage structures mentioned in the statement.
The statement specifies 'Grade-II heritage structures built prior to 1857'.
Explicit fact verification requires locating the exact scope limiters in the passage.
2
Locate the explicit rule in the passage regarding 3D laser scanning requirements for Grade-II structures.
The text explicitly states: 'Grade-II heritage structures are explicitly exempted from mandatory 3D laser scanning and are instead required to submit biannual photographic documentation.'
The 18-month 3D laser scanning rule applies strictly to Grade-I monuments, not Grade-II structures.
3
Evaluate the truth value of the assertion.
The statement falsely attributes the mandatory 3D laser scanning requirement to Grade-II structures.
Contradicting explicit text conditions invalidates the assertion.
