The Vande Matram scheme is an initiative aimed at reducing maternal mortality rates in India. It is implemented through a public-private partnership. This option accurately explains the purpose and nature of the scheme.

Option 1 is unrelated to the Vande Matram scheme. It refers to a scheme that encourages the youth to join the defense forces. This option is not correct.

Option 3 talks about a scheme sponsored by the Union Government to provide old age homes to destitute and poor old women. This is not related to the Vande Matram scheme.

Option 4 mentions a new strategy included in the revised family planning program to prioritize the protection of pregnant women from HIV/AIDS. This option is also not related to the Vande Matram scheme.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
