Q2Consider the following statements about the Vibrant Villages Programme: 1. Village Action Plans are prepared by district administrations with gram panchayat participation. 2. The unit of selection is an individual household that receives a fixed cash benefit. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because district administrations prepare Village Action Plans with gram panchayat participation. Statement 2 is incorrect because the programme is not a household cash-transfer scheme: it selects a strategic border village or a cluster of villages as the unit for area development and convergence.
Q3Which authority is the nodal authority for the Vibrant Villages Programme?
The Ministry of Home Affairs is the nodal ministry, and its Department of Border Management coordinates the Vibrant Villages Programme. District administrations and gram panchayats help prepare Village Action Plans, while other ministries support convergence; those roles do not transfer nodal responsibility.
