Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) was launched on October 2, 2014, by the Government of India [3]. Statement 1 is correct as the Union Cabinet approved the restructuring of the erstwhile Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA) into the Swachh Bharat Mission to provide a new thrust to sanitation efforts [4]. Statement 2 is incorrect because the mission was structured into two specific sub-missions: Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) for rural areas and Swachh Bharat Mission (Urban) for urban areas, rather than being divided by Union Territories and States [2]. SBM (Gramin) is managed by the Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation (now Ministry of Jal Shakti), while SBM (Urban) is managed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs [4]. Therefore, only the first statement regarding the restructuring of NBA is accurate.
