भारतातील ग्रामीण दारिद्रय दूर करण्यासाठी कोणता कार्यक्रम जाहीर करण्यात आला ?

The correct answer is Option D (All of the above).

Key Points:
• The Government of India introduced several major anti-poverty programmes targeting rural deprivations:
• Twenty Point Programme (TPP): Launched in 1975 by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, with direct focus on poverty eradication, rural electrification, housing for the landless, and drinking water.
• Minimum Needs Programme (MNP): Introduced in the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974-79) to provide a basic minimum standard of living (rural health, rural water supply, rural education, and nutrition) to eliminate basic poverty.
• Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP): Launched in 1978-79 (nationwide by 2 October 1980) to provide income-generating self-employment assets and subsidies to rural BPL families.
• Since all three schemes were specifically initiated for rural poverty alleviation, Option 4 (All of the above) is correct.
• Key Takeaway: IRDP (1980), Minimum Needs Programme (1974), and the Twenty Point Programme (1975) were all key rural poverty alleviation initiatives.
