Select the answer using the code given below:

1. A

   1 and 2

   1 and 2: Statement 1 is incorrect because the implementation period of the Revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) approved for continuation runs from 2022-23 to 2025-26, not starting from 1st April, 2021.

2. B

   2 only

   2 only. Statement 2 is correct because the primary objective of the Revamped RGSA is to develop and strengthen the governance capabilities of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Statement 1 is incorrect as the scheme's approved implementation period spans from FY 2022-23 to 2025-26. Statement 3 is incorrect because central funding is not 100% for all states; funding is shared between the Centre and the States in specified ratios (such as 60:40 for general states and 90:10 for North Eastern/Hilly states, with 100% for Union Territories without legislature).

3. C

   1 and 3

   1 and 3: Statement 1 is incorrect regarding the timeline, and statement 3 is incorrect because central funding is not 100% universal across all states.

4. D

   2 and 3

   2 and 3: Statement 3 is incorrect because the Centre does not fund 100% of the scheme for all States, making this combination wrong.

Summary. Official key is (b). Statement 2 correctly captures the core mandate of the Revamped RGSA focused on building local governance capacities for SDGs, while statement 1 errs on the implementation timeline and statement 3 incorrectly claims universal 100% central funding across all states.
