Question No 2
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
- Statement 1 is correct: Assam’s rise from 27th to 12th position reflects a significant improvement in educational performance.
- Statement 2 is incorrect. PGI 2.0 evaluates states across multiple domains, including learning outcomes, access, infrastructure, equity, governance, and teacher education, not merely examination results.

Explanation
All the above statements are correct.
Question No 4
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
- Statement 1 is correct: Tezpur Litchi is widely known for its bright-red appearance, exceptional sweetness, distinctive aroma, and superior eating quality, making it one of Assam’s most celebrated horticultural products.
- Statement 2 is Incorrect: Tezpur Litchi received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag in November 2020. However, Assam Tea was granted GI status much earlier and is among India’s earliest GI-tagged products. Therefore, Tezpur Litchi did not receive GI recognition before Assam Tea.
- Statement 3 is correct: Recently, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) facilitated the first export of GI-tagged Tezpur Litchi to Dubai, marking an important milestone for Assam’s horticultural exports.
- Statement 4 is correct: The region cultivates several notable varieties of litchi, including Bombaya, Bilati, Elaichi, Piyaji, and Sahi, which are appreciated for their distinct flavour and quality characteristics.
Question No 5
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The Assamese children’s magazines Mouchak and Natun Aabishkar have been digitally archived and preserved at the University of California in collaboration with Tezpur University.
- Mouchak was first published in April 1984 under the editorship of renowned children’s writer Shantanu Tamuly, popularly known as “Mouchak Mama.”
- Natun Aabishkar was a pioneering Assamese children’s science magazine that introduced scientific concepts and innovations to young readers in their mother tongue.
