Correct answer: (a) Only 1
Explanation
- A
Only 1
Option (a) asserts that only the Anuthee Uphar Scheme is related to Uttar Pradesh. This scheme was launched by the Mirzapur district administration in Uttar Pradesh to promote the adoption of government primary schools by officials and elected representatives. Since the other listed schemes belong to Haryana, Chhattisgarh, and Telangana respectively, this option correctly identifies the single Uttar Pradesh-specific initiative.
- B
Only 2
Option (b) claims that only the Matra Shakti Udyamita Scheme is related to Uttar Pradesh. However, this particular women entrepreneurship scheme was actually launched by the state government of Haryana to provide financial support and loans to women entrepreneurs. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
- C
Both 2 and 3
Option (c) states that both Matra Shakti Udyamita Scheme and Kaushalya Matritva Scheme are related to Uttar Pradesh. While the former belongs to Haryana, the Kaushalya Matritva Scheme was launched by the government of Chhattisgarh to financially support mothers upon the birth of a second girl child. Thus, this combination is completely wrong.
- D
2, 3 and 4
Option (d) includes schemes 2, 3, and 4 as being related to Uttar Pradesh. In reality, Matra Shakti belongs to Haryana, Kaushalya Matritva belongs to Chhattisgarh, and Stree Nidhi is a women's cooperative credit federation scheme of Telangana. Consequently, this option is entirely inaccurate.
Summary. Official key is (a) because out of the four given initiatives, only the Anuthee Uphar Scheme pertains to Uttar Pradesh. The Matra Shakti Udyamita Scheme belongs to Haryana, the Kaushalya Matritva Scheme originates in Chhattisgarh, and the Stree Nidhi Scheme is implemented in Telangana. Candidates often confuse state-specific welfare schemes due to similar naming conventions focusing on women and children. Carefully verifying the implementing state for each social welfare scheme prevents common exam traps. Therefore, option (a) stands as the only correct choice.
