Explanation
The correct answer is B because the passage directly reflects the core philosophy of the Community Development Programme launched in 1952. This initiative aimed to transform social and economic life in rural areas through the active participation and partnership of the masses. The focus was on making people partners in their own progress rather than mere recipients of government aid. It emphasized a collective effort and a sense of belonging among workers and villagers to achieve self reliance and rural reconstruction. This specific vision of fostering a sense of partnership and cooperative performance is a hallmark of the Community Development approach.
