Question

Which of the following statements with respect to the Revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) is/are correct?

1The period of its implementation is 1st April, 2021 to 31st March, 2026.
2The key objective of the Revamped RGSA is to develop the governance capabilities of the Panchayati Raj Institutions to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals.
3The share of the Central funding for the Revamped RGSA is 100% for all States and Union Territories.

Select the answer using the code given below:

Options

a

1 and 2

b

2 only

Answer
c

1 and 3

d

2 and 3

Explanation

Only statement 2 is correct. The primary objective of the Revamped RGSA is to systematically build the administrative capacity and governance frameworks of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) to help achieve localized Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Statement 1 is incorrect because the official extended implementation timeline approved by the Cabinet runs from 1st April, 2022 to 31st March, 2026. Statement 3 is incorrect because funding is structured around a cost-sharing ratio (typically 60:40 for general states and 90:10 for Northeastern/Hill states), rather than being 100% centrally funded across all territories.
