The correct answer is (a) Almora.
Almora is a district in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India. It is the northernmost district of the state, bordering the state of Himachal Pradesh to the north and the state of Uttar Pradesh to the east. The district has a population of over 1.2 million people, of which over 80% live in rural areas.
The poverty ratio in Almora district is 31.7%, which is higher than the state average of 19.9%. The main reasons for poverty in Almora district are low levels of education, lack of employment opportunities, and poor infrastructure.
The government of Uttarakhand has implemented a number of schemes to reduce poverty in Almora district. These schemes include the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).
The PMJDY is a financial inclusion scheme that aims to provide financial services to the poor and vulnerable sections of society. The PMKVY is a skill development scheme that aims to provide training to the youth in order to make them employable. The MGNREGA is a rural employment guarantee scheme that aims to provide employment to the rural poor.
These schemes have helped to reduce poverty in Almora district, but there is still a long way to go. The government needs to continue to implement these schemes and also focus on improving the quality of education, providing employment opportunities, and improving infrastructure in order to reduce poverty in Almora district.
