Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above
The Andhra Pradesh government’s “Navaratnalu” program aims to impact HDI through:
- Welfare schemes such as Amma Vodi (free education for girls), YSR Cheyutha (financial assistance to women), and YSR Aasara (pension for the elderly). These schemes aim to improve the lives of the poor and marginalized, and in doing so, contribute to a higher HDI.
- Investments in health and education such as the construction of new hospitals and schools, and the provision of free medical care and education. These investments aim to improve the health and education of the population, which are key determinants of HDI.
- Focus on marginalized groups such as women, children, and the elderly. The government has launched several initiatives to improve the lives of these groups, such as the Amma Vodi scheme and the YSR Cheyutha scheme. These initiatives aim to reduce inequality and discrimination, and in doing so, contribute to a higher HDI.
The Andhra Pradesh government’s “Navaratnalu” program is a comprehensive and ambitious effort to improve the lives of the people of Andhra Pradesh. The program has the potential to have a significant impact on HDI, and it is worth watching to see how it progresses in the years to come.
