The correct answer is D. Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).
MGNREGA is a social security legislation and a flagship programme of the Government of India that aims to provide at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The Act was enacted in 2005 and implemented in 2006.
The Act provides for the creation of durable assets such as roads, canals, ponds, and wells, and also for the maintenance of existing assets. The Act has been successful in providing employment to millions of rural people and has helped to improve their livelihoods.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Yojana (PMGRY) is a centrally sponsored scheme that aims to provide employment opportunities to the educated unemployed youth in rural areas.
- Start-up India is a flagship initiative of the Government of India to promote entrepreneurship and innovation in the country.
- Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) is a skill development scheme for rural youth.
I hope this helps!
