Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan (Accessible India Campaign) was launched on December 3, 2015, by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment [7]. Statement 1 is correct as it identifies the correct initiating department and ministry [7]. Statement 2 is correct because the campaign's primary vision is to build an inclusive society with equal opportunities by achieving universal accessibility in the built environment, transportation, and ICT ecosystems [6]. However, statement 3 is incorrect; the campaign focuses strictly on removing physical and digital barriers to ensure independent living and dignity [4]. It does not include provisions for financial pensions, which are typically covered under separate social security schemes like the Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
