Which of the following (Scheme – Year) is NOT correctly matched?

1. A

   Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gramin Kaushalya Yojana – 2014

   Option (a) claims that the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gramin Kaushalya Yojana was launched in 2014. This statement is factually correct as the skill development scheme was initiated in September 2014. Therefore, this option is not the correct choice for the mismatched pair.

2. B

   Rural Housing Interest Subsidy Scheme – 2017

   Option (b) asserts that the Rural Housing Interest Subsidy Scheme started in 2017. This statement is also correct, making it a properly matched pair regarding rural housing finance. Thus, this option is eliminated.

3. C

   Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission – 2015

   Option (c) claims that the Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission was launched in the year 2015. However, this mission was officially launched by the Prime Minister in February 2016, making this pairing incorrect. Because the question asks to identify the incorrectly matched pair, this option is the designated key.

4. D

   Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana – 2014

   Option (d) states that the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana began in 2014. Since this rural development program was indeed launched in October 2014, the pairing is correct and this option is rejected.

Summary. Official key is (c) because the Shyama Prasad Mukherji Rurban Mission was actually launched in February 2016 rather than 2015. The other three schemes—Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gramin Kaushalya Yojana, Rural Housing Interest Subsidy Scheme, and Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana—were correctly matched with their respective launch years of 2014, 2017, and 2014. Aspirants often confuse announcement dates with official rollout dates for rural development initiatives. Careful verification of ministry launch timelines helps prevent such mapping errors.
