Explanation
- A
2, 3, 4, 1
(a) 2, 3, 4, 1. This sequence places the Rural Employment Generation Programme first, which is incorrect since it started in 1995 after the Prime Minister Rozgar Yojana.
- B
4, 2, 1, 3
(b) 4, 2, 1, 3. This option incorrectly begins with the Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana, launched in 2001, making it the latest scheme rather than the earliest.
- C
1, 2, 3, 4
(c) 1, 2, 3, 4. This order starts with the Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana of 2000, failing to account for the earlier employment generation schemes.
- D
3, 2, 1, 4
(d) 3, 2, 1, 4. Prime Minister Rozgar Yojana was launched in 1993, Rural Employment Generation Programme in 1995, Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana in 2000, and Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana in 2001. Arranging these landmark welfare and employment schemes chronologically from earliest to latest precisely yields the sequence 3, 2, 1, 4, establishing this option as the correct key.
Summary. Official key is (d) because the chronological order of the given schemes starts with the Prime Minister Rozgar Yojana in 1993, followed by the Rural Employment Generation Programme in 1995. Next is the Pradhan Mantri Gramodaya Yojana launched in 2000, and finally the Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana introduced in 2001. Candidates often confuse the launch years of PMRY and REGP, but knowing their exact inception dates clarifies the sequence. Thus, option (d) correctly maps the progression from earliest to latest activity.
