Explanation
The correct chronological order of the rural development schemes is Indira Awas Yojana (1985-86), Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (1999), Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (2000), and Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (2001). Indira Awas Yojana (IAY) was launched in 1985-86 as a sub-scheme of RLEGP to provide housing for the rural poor [t1]. Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) was launched on April 1, 1999, by restructuring the Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP) [c1, c3, t6]. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) followed on December 25, 2000, to provide all-weather road connectivity [c1, t6, t9]. Finally, the Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY) was launched on September 25, 2001, by merging the Employment Assurance Scheme and Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojana [c2, t3, t5]. Thus, the sequence 4-1-2-3 is correct.
