Question

Which of the following is NOT amongst a three pronged strategy adopted by Govt. of India to ensure removal of disparities, elimination of exploitation and to provide protection to disadvantaged groups?

1. A. Rural Development (Correct answer)
2. B. Social Empowerment
3. C. Economic Empowerment
4. D. Social Justice

Correct Answer

Option A — Rural Development

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Rural Development.

Key Points

• The Government of India adopted a three-pronged strategy to address disparities and protect disadvantaged groups: (1) Social Empowerment -- ensuring equal rights and access through laws and education; (2) Economic Empowerment -- providing economic opportunities, reservations, and financial schemes; and (3) Social Justice -- ensuring equity through affirmative action and protective legislation.
• Rural Development, while important, is a separate policy area and is NOT part of this specific three-pronged strategy for disadvantaged groups.
