The correct answer is: a) Developing model villages.
The Chief Minister’s Adarsh Gram Yojana (CGY) is a rural development scheme launched by the Government of Gujarat in 2003. The scheme aims to develop model villages by providing them with basic infrastructure and amenities, such as roads, electricity, water supply, sanitation, and education. The scheme also focuses on improving the living standards of the villagers by providing them with employment opportunities and skill development training.
The CGY has been successful in developing a number of model villages in Gujarat. These villages have become examples of good governance and development. The scheme has also helped to improve the living standards of the villagers.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) Promoting rural tourism is not the focus of the CGY. The scheme does not focus on promoting tourism in rural areas.
- Option c) Skill development for youth is not the focus of the CGY. The scheme does not focus on providing skill development training to youth.
- Option d) Eradicating open defecation is not the focus of the CGY. The scheme does not focus on eradicating open defecation.
