Seeking an appointment to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi? Answer 20 tough questions in five minutes and the meeting can be a reality. 

Marking the Narendra Modi government’s second-year anniversary, the Centre has begun an online quiz, which tests people’s knowledge of steps and achievements of the government, The Economic Times reported on Friday

“The grand prize awaiting the winners — a certificate signed by Narendra Modi himself and an opportunity to meet him in person,” says an announcement on My-Gov platform. “If you don’t know the answers, take the quiz anyhow to know about the various programs, maybe a lucky guess ot two will make you a winner… Either way, you will get to know about what your government has been doing for you,” the platform adds. 

How does it work?

The quiz will throw 20 questions, which have to be answered in five minutes. For instance, it will ask you questions on addition in solar energy’s capacity in 2014-15 or on Rajya Sabha MPs identifying Adarsh villages for development. 

 A question bank is in place to ensure that there is no repetition in the subsequent quizzes taken by the same user. 

How will the winners be chosen?

The winner will be chosen based on maximum number of correct answers. In case many participants have given the same number of correct answers, the one who finished it in the least time will be declared the winner.
