Under PM-YUVA 3.0, how many book proposals were selected according to the February 2026 current-affairs source?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. 43C. 43
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is 43.
According to the source, the Ministry of Education announced the results of PM-YUVA 3.0 and selected 43 book proposals.
The proposals cover 22 Indian languages plus English.
PM-YUVA stands for the Prime Minister's Scheme for Mentoring Young Authors, and the source identifies this edition as PM-YUVA 3.0.
Selected young authors will receive mentorship for six months under eminent scholars.
They will also receive a scholarship of ₹50,000 per month and a 10 percent lifetime royalty on their published books.
These three details—six-month mentorship, ₹50,000 monthly scholarship and 10 percent lifetime royalty—are particularly important for competitive examinations because they may appear together in statement-based questions.
The objective of the programme is to nurture a new generation of writers and promote India's literature and ideas globally.
According to the source, the first set of books produced under this mentorship is to be published in 2026.
The static information included in the source states that PM-YUVA was launched in 2021 by the Ministry of Education, with the aim of mentoring young writers under experienced guides.
Students should distinguish the number of proposals from the number of languages.
The source says 43 proposals, covering 22 Indian languages plus English.
Therefore 22 should not be mistaken for the number of selected authors or proposals.
Similarly, the ₹50,000 amount is a monthly scholarship, unlike the ₹1 lakh research grant mentioned for the SHAKTI Scholars fellowship.
Revision chain: PM-YUVA 3.0 → Ministry of Education → 43 book proposals → 22 Indian languages + English → six-month mentorship → ₹50,000
month → 10% lifetime royalty → first mentored books in 2026 → scheme originally launched in 2021.
Hence option C, 43, is correct.
सही उत्तर 43 है। Source के अनुसार Ministry of Education ने PM-YUVA 3.0 के results announce किए और 43 book proposals select किए। ये proposals 22 Indian languages plus English को cover करते हैं। PM-YUVA का full form source में PM's Scheme for Mentoring Young Authors दिया गया है और current edition PM-YUVA 3.0 है। Selected young authors को eminent scholars के under six-month mentorship मिलेगी। इसके साथ ₹50,000 per month scholarship और published books पर 10 percent lifetime royalty मिलेगी। ये तीन facts—six-month mentorship, ₹50,000 monthly scholarship और 10% lifetime royalty—competitive exams के लिए बहुत important हैं। Programme का objective new generation of writers develop करना और Indian literature तथा thought को globally promote करना है। Source के अनुसार mentored books का first set 2026 में publish किया जाएगा। Static points में source बताता है कि PM-YUVA को Ministry of Education द्वारा 2021 में launch किया गया था और इसका aim experienced guides के under young writers को mentor करना है। Number of proposals और number of languages को confuse नहीं करना चाहिए। Source के अनुसार proposals = 43, जबकि languages = 22 Indian languages + English। इसी प्रकार ₹50,000 monthly scholarship को SHAKTI Scholars के ₹1 lakh research grant से अलग रखें। Revision chain: PM-YUVA 3.0 → Ministry of Education → 43 proposals → 22 Indian languages + English → 6-month mentorship → ₹50,000/month scholarship → 10% lifetime royalty → first books 2026 → original scheme launch 2021। इसलिए option C सही answer है।
