Statement 2 correctly describes the purpose of Vidyanjali Yojana: to improve the quality of education in government schools by leveraging support from the private sector and the community through volunteering.
Vidyanjali is a school volunteer initiative launched by the Ministry of Education (formerly MHRD) to connect schools with volunteers from various backgrounds, including retired professionals, NRIs, homemakers, and youth, who can contribute their time and skills to support school activities and enhance the learning environment.
Statement 1 is incorrect as the scheme is not related to foreign educational institutions opening campuses. Statement 3 is partially correct in that community participation might include contributions, but the primary focus of Vidyanjali is on soliciting volunteer services (time, skills, activities) rather than predominantly monetary contributions for infrastructure development, which falls under other schemes.
