Take governance quiz and meet PM Modi

NEW DELHI: If you think you are an avid follower of government policies and follow numbers around them religiously. You might stand a chance to meet the Prime Minister himself. Yes!

With the completion of two years in office, NDA government has asked citizens to participate in an online quiz competition.

On winning it you will get a certificate signed by the Prime Minister himself and an opportunity to meet him in person.

The rules of the contest read something like this “this is a timed quiz with 20 questions to be answered in five minutes. These twenty questions will be randomly picked from the question bank. Winners will be adjudged on the basis of a maximum number of correct answers.”

The questions revolve around various policies and schemes launched and implemented in these two years. It is a curious collection of numbers that is thrown at you once you actually take that quiz.

Questions like, “What was the amount of tax refunds paid in 2015-16 — Rs 1,22,325 Cr, Rs 1,23,425 Cr, Rs 1,23,325 Cr or Rs 1,22,425 Cr ?” or  "What is the target year to achieve 100 Cr tonne/year production of coal--2021, 2022, 2020, 2019?"

To participate in the quiz you need to log on to the website — www.mygov.in.  The quiz is being promoted on other websites of almost all departments of the government. The quiz is open until June 5, 2016.

The site also offers its participants a chance to rate government's efforts in tackling black money, both at home and abroad, besides its efforts in controlling corruption. Give your feedback on these initiatives through the 'Rate My Government' survey.  As per official records, many as 1,800 people have participated in the quiz which began on May 25.
