Difficulty: EasyExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the following passage carefully:

In July 2025, the Ministry of Jal Shakti launched the National Groundwater Conservation Mission (NGCM) across 15 water-stressed states in India. Under this mission, rural local bodies receive financial assistance directly from the Central Government to construct rainwater harvesting structures. However, urban municipal corporations are excluded from direct central funding and must raise funds through local municipal bonds or state grant allocations.

Based on the passage above, is the following statement True or False?
"Urban municipal corporations receive direct financial assistance from the Central Government under the National Groundwater Conservation Mission."

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False.
The passage explicitly distinguishes between rural local bodies (which receive direct central funding) and urban municipal corporations (which are excluded from direct central funding). Therefore, the claim that urban municipal corporations receive direct financial assistance from the Central Government is factually incorrect based strictly on the text.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the portion of the passage addressing urban municipal corporations
The third sentence of the passage states: 'However, urban municipal corporations are excluded from direct central funding...'
Direct fact-based extraction requires matching the subject of the assertion to the specific sentence in the passage.
2
Compare the passage fact with the given statement
The statement asserts that urban municipal corporations receive direct central financial assistance, which contradicts the explicit text stating they are excluded from it.
An assertion that directly contradicts an explicitly stated fact in the text is False.
