How to think: both statements repeat the stated objectives of the event, so look for the stated aim: financial security and financial inclusion for the rural population.
| Statement | Official aim | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Promote economic stability and financial security of the rural population | Stated first among the objectives | Correct |
| 2. Focus on financial inclusion and sustainable agriculture | Stated as the focus, with special attention to the North-East | Correct |
The six-day festival ran from 4 to 9 January 2025 in New Delhi, with the theme 'Building a Resilient Rural India for a Viksit Bharat 2047'.
It also stressed rural women's entrepreneurship, technology and culture.

Key point
Grameen Bharat Mahotsav 2025: 4-9 January 2025, New Delhi; theme: Building a Resilient Rural India for a Viksit Bharat 2047; motto: Gaon badhe, toh desh badhe.
Remember
Grameen Bharat Mahotsav: rural financial security, inclusion, sustainable farming.
Common mistakes
- Marking a statement wrong because it sounds like a general rural scheme.
- Mixing it up with Krishi Mahotsav or other state fairs.
- Forgetting that the event had financial inclusion as a main theme.
Exam tip
Educated guess: when both statements are mild, positive and on-topic ('rural', 'financial', 'agriculture'), the answer is usually 'both'.
