Intergrated Child Development Services
Mukhya Mantri Bal Uddhar Yojana
Integrated Child Protection Scheme
Bal/Balika Suraksha Yojana
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. Mukhya Mantri Bal Uddhar Yojana
The Mukhya Mantri Bal Uddhar Yojana is a scheme launched by the Himachal Pradesh government in 2013 to provide financial assistance to poor children. Under the scheme, the government deposits Rs. 1,000 per year in the bank/post office accounts of children from families below the poverty line. The scheme is aimed at providing financial security to poor children and helping them to meet their basic needs.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is a centrally sponsored scheme that provides a package of services to children under the age of six and their mothers. The scheme does not provide financial assistance to poor children.
- Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) is a centrally sponsored scheme that provides for the protection and welfare of children in need of care and protection. The scheme does not provide financial assistance to poor children.
- Bal/Balika Suraksha Yojana (BBSY) is a centrally sponsored scheme that provides for the safety and security of children. The scheme does not provide financial assistance to poor children.
