UPSC CDS-1 – 2024

Statements 1 and 2 are correct, while statement 3 is incorrect. The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan (Accessible India Campaign) is indeed initiated by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, and its primary aim is to create an inclusive society for persons with disabilities by making public spaces, transport, and information accessible.

The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan focuses on three main pillars:
1. Accessibility of the Built Environment.
2. Accessibility of the Transportation System.
3. Accessibility of the Information & Communication Ecosystem.

Statement 3 is incorrect because the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan is an accessibility campaign, not a scheme for providing pensions. Pension schemes for persons with disabilities are separate initiatives, often implemented by state governments or other central government welfare programmes.
