Memory Aids

Mnemonic 2: Abhyuday Yojana Purpose: Target group recall: • A — A spirants (competitive exams) • F — F ree of cost • C — C oaching (UPSC, NEET, JEE)
Mnemonic 3: ODOP Focus: Each of the 75 districts is assigned one unique product (e.g., Aligarh locks, Bhadohi carpets) to foster localized economic clusters.

Common Exam Traps

Trap 1: Confusing the revised amount of Kanya Sumangala Yojana. In older question banks, the answer is Rs. 15,000. However, the UP Government officially hiked the benefit to Rs. 25,000 starting from the financial year 2024-25. Always choose the updated value in current exams.
Trap 2: Believing Abhyuday Yojana offers cash scholarship. Abhyuday Yojana provides free high-quality coaching and library access for exams like IAS/PCS/JEE/NEET, but does not give direct bank transfers or cash stipends.
Trap 3: Misunderstanding the scope of Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana. This scheme does not apply to heavy factory workers. It targets exclusively traditional cottage artisans (potters, tailors, carpenters, cobblers, barbers, masons).
Trap 4: Assuming ODOP products can be any item. ODOP products are strictly indigenous/handicraft specialties associated with the district's history (e.g., Aligarh locks, Bhadohi carpets, Firozabad glass, Kannauj perfume), rather than modern mass-produced items.
