Which of these is/are a line agency (as treated by the source)?
- 1. CPWD
- 2. Department of Telecom
- 3. PMO
- 4. NITI Aayog
A1, 2 and 3
B1, 3 and 4
C2 and 3 ✓ Correct
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 2 and 3 — The source treats items 2 and 3 as line agencies, so the answer is 2 and 3.
Explanation
★The source treats items 2 and 3 as line agencies, so the answer is 2 and 3.
★A line agency directly delivers services and carries out main functions.
★The Department of Telecom is a line agency delivering services.
★The source counts the PMO among the line agencies here.
★Item 1 is wrong, because the CPWD is an auxiliary agency providing common services.
★Item 4 is wrong, because NITI Aayog is a staff agency that advises.
★So the keyed line agencies here are the Department of Telecom and the PMO.
