Strengthening the Mid-day Meal Scheme Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
- A1 and 2 only
- B3 and 4 only
- C2, 3 and 4 onlyCorrect
- D1, 2, 3 and 4
Explanation
The correct answer is C because inclusive governance focuses on social equity, decentralization, and human development to ensure that the benefits of growth reach all sections of society.
Statement 2 is correct because District Planning Committees promote democratic decentralization and grassroots participation, ensuring that local needs are included in the planning process.
Statements 3 and 4 are correct because increasing health spending and strengthening the Mid day Meal Scheme directly improve the human development indicators of the vulnerable and marginalized populations, which is a core pillar of inclusion.
Statement 1 is incorrect because permitting NBFCs to do banking is a matter of financial regulation and structural policy. While it may assist in financial inclusion, it is not considered an essential part of the governance framework in the same way that social welfare and decentralized planning are. Therefore, options including 1 are excluded.
