Zorluk: OrtaExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the passage given below carefully and answer the question that follows:

"In January 2026, the Ministry of Jal Shakti released the revised operational guidelines for the National River Conservation Plan (NRCP). Under the updated framework, the Central Government will provide 60% financial assistance for sewage treatment infrastructure projects in coastal states, while inland states will receive 75% central funding. The guidelines explicitly specify that routine operation and maintenance (O&M) costs must be borne entirely by the respective State Governments for a mandatory period of ten years following project commissioning. Furthermore, industrial effluent treatment facilities are strictly excluded from NRCP grant eligibility, requiring direct funding by the polluting industrial units under the Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) protocol."

Which of the following statements regarding the revised NRCP guidelines are correct according to the passage?

  1. Inland states are eligible for 75% central financial assistance for sewage treatment infrastructure projects.Cevap
  2. B
    Operation and maintenance costs for sewage treatment infrastructure will be shared equally between Central and State Governments for ten years.
  3. Routine operation and maintenance costs must be fully funded by State Governments for a period of ten years post-commissioning.Cevap
  4. D
    Industrial effluent treatment facilities can receive central grants if they comply with the Zero Liquid Discharge protocol.

Cevap

The correct statements are that inland states receive 75% central financial assistance for sewage treatment infrastructure projects, and routine operation and maintenance costs must be fully funded by State Governments for ten years following project commissioning.
The correct options accurately reflect explicit statements from the text: inland states receive 75% central funding for sewage treatment infrastructure, and State Governments are entirely responsible for routine operation and maintenance costs for ten years following commissioning.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate explicit funding percentages for sewage treatment infrastructure in the text.
The passage explicitly states that coastal states receive 60% central funding, whereas inland states receive 75% central funding.
Verifies the factual accuracy of funding allocation for inland states.
2
Identify the clause governing Operation and Maintenance (O&M) expenses.
The text explicitly specifies that routine O&M costs must be borne entirely by the respective State Governments for ten years after commissioning.
Confirms state responsibility for O&M costs and invalidates any cost-sharing claims.
3
Check the eligibility rules for industrial effluent treatment facilities.
The passage confirms that industrial effluent treatment facilities are strictly excluded from NRCP grants and must be self-funded by polluting units.
Disproves claims that industrial units can receive central grants under NRCP.
