SSC Selection Post 2024 PYQ — Question 33

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Namami Gange.

Namami Gange is not a poverty alleviation programme; it is a river conservation initiative launched by the Government of India to clean and rejuvenate the Ganga River. In contrast, Indira Awaas Yojana (IAY), Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP), and Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY) are all focused on poverty alleviation. IAY provides housing to the rural poor, REGP promotes self-employment in rural areas, and SGRY offers wage employment and food security. Namami Gange focuses on environmental goals, not directly on reducing poverty or generating rural employment.
