The correct answer is (d). The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is a social security fund for employees in the organized sector. It is not an employment generation and poverty alleviation programme.

The other three options are employment generation and poverty alleviation programmes of the Government of India.

  • The National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) is a programme that aims to reduce rural poverty by promoting self-employment and livelihoods through the formation of self-help groups (SHGs).
  • The Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY) is a programme that aims to generate employment opportunities in urban areas by providing financial assistance to self-help groups (SHGs) and urban poor individuals.
