The correct answer is C. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is a flagship programme of the Government of India with the objective of universalization of elementary education in India. The programme was launched in 2001 and aims to provide free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of 6-14 years.
The programme is implemented by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) and is funded by the Central and State Governments. The SSA is implemented through a decentralized approach with the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) as the implementing agency at the district level.
The SSA has been successful in increasing the enrolment of children in schools and reducing the dropout rate. The programme has also helped to improve the quality of education in government schools.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Lok Jumbish is a non-formal education programme for adults.
- Mid-day meal is a programme that provides free meals to children in government schools.
- Ayush is a government programme that promotes traditional Indian medicine.
