Q1Consider the following statements about financial assistance to Self-Help Groups under Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana–National Rural Livelihoods Mission: 1. Eligible groups receive Revolving Fund support of ₹20,000–₹30,000 to strengthen their corpus and internal lending. 2. An upfront capital subsidy is sanctioned to every group after it completes 6 months. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Statement 1 is correct: an eligible Self-Help Group can receive ₹20,000–₹30,000 as Revolving Fund support for its corpus, institutional capacity and internal lending. Statement 2 is incorrect because the mission expressly discontinues the earlier upfront capital subsidy; completing an age threshold does not create such an entitlement.
