Common schools, Shiksha Diwas and Akshar Aanchal

Bihar's common-school decision is tied to the Common School System Commission chaired, in the printed key, by Muchkund Dubey. Vijay Shankar Dubey and Sachchidanand Sinha are the other names. The note says Bihar was the first state to decide on a common-school policy.

Shiksha Diwas is 11 November, the birth anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, India's first education minister. The direct question on whose jayanti it is has the same key. The fourth option prints a separate name, A. P. J. Abul Kalam Azad, and is not the answer. The note says Bihar was the first state to observe the day.

Akshar Aanchal was a women's literacy programme whose first phase covered 40 lakh women. The key dates its start to August 2009. The note says the Centre later started Sakshar Bharat.
