- D1 only
Explanation
The Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana was launched on 11 October 2014, the birth anniversary of Jayaprakash Narayan (statement 2 true), and draws inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi's vision of Gram Swaraj (statement 3 true). However, the scheme is administered by the Ministry of Rural Development, not the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs (statement 1 false). Hence statements 2 and 3 are correct. Note: UPSC's published key marks option B, but SAGY is under the Ministry of Rural Development.
