Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
A welfare programme is classified by its principal objective and the need it directly serves, rather than merely by the ministry that administers it.
Employment and livelihood protection indicate poverty reduction; school nutrition and participation support human development; pensions provide social assistance; and rural housing meets a minimum basic need.
Application
Programme category | Matching scheme | Reason |
|---|---|---|
Poverty Reduction Programme | MNREGA/MGNREGA | Its employment guarantee strengthens rural livelihood security and reduces income poverty. |
Human Development Scheme | Mid-day Meals | School meals improve child nutrition while supporting enrolment, attendance and retention. |
Social Assistance Scheme | National Old Age Pension | The pension provides income support to eligible older persons. |
Minimum Need Scheme | Indira Awas Yojana | Rural housing addresses the basic need for shelter. |
