Some of the questions that were asked in the test are: “What was the name of the leader who founded the RSS?When did the Indian calendar start? What is the name of the scheme started by PM Modi to clean river Ganga?What is the aim of the government according to Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya? In which state is Somnath temple situated?
