Which of the following Scheme/Programme is NOT a Central Government Programme and is a Uttar Pradesh Government Programme?

A MGNREGA
B Gramin Swasthya Mission
C Ganga Expressway
D Pt. Nehru Utkarsh Mission

Correct answer: (c) Ganga Expressway

Explanation

  1. A

    MGNREGA

    MGNREGA claims to be a Central Government Programme enacted through national legislation. It is not the correct key because it is centrally sponsored and funded, unlike the purely state-level initiative asked in the question.

  2. B

    Gramin Swasthya Mission

    Gramin Swasthya Mission claims to be a Central Government health initiative operating across rural districts. It is not the key because the National Rural Health Mission is fundamentally a central scheme supported by the Union Ministry of Health.

  3. C

    Ganga Expressway

    Ganga Expressway claims to be a major infrastructure project initiated and executed by the Government of Uttar Pradesh to connect Meerut to Prayagraj. This option is the correct key because it is exclusively a state government infrastructure programme rather than a central scheme.

  4. D

    Pt. Nehru Utkarsh Mission

    Pt. Nehru Utkarsh Mission claims to be an urban development or welfare programme linked to central urban poverty alleviation frameworks. It is not the correct key as it does not represent the specific state expressway project queried.

Summary. Official key is (c) Ganga Expressway. The question asks to identify which of the listed initiatives is exclusively a Uttar Pradesh Government programme rather than a central government one. MGNREGA, National Rural Health Mission, and Pt. Nehru Utkarsh Mission all operate under central government oversight or funding frameworks. In contrast, the Ganga Expressway is a massive Greenfield expressway project planned, funded, and executed by the state government of Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
