General KnowledgeCurrent Affairs
- AIt focuses on community participation.
- BIt is to be guided by a Member of the Parliament.
- CIt aims at creating infrastructure for the village.
- DA Village Development Plan would be prepared for every identified Gram Panchayat.
Explanation
The Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (2014) is driven by Members of Parliament adopting villages (a is true), lays great emphasis on community participation and mobilization (b is true), and requires the preparation of a Village Development Plan for each adopted Gram Panchayat (d is true). Its aim, however, is the holistic transformation of villages into 'Adarsh Grams' (model villages) across human, social and economic dimensions — creating infrastructure is only one component, not the defining aim. Hence 'aims at creating infrastructure' (c) is not a genuine feature of the scheme.
