Explanation

Inclusive governance focuses on ensuring that marginalized and vulnerable sections of society have access to essential services and decision-making processes. Establishing effective District Planning Committees (DPCs) is a constitutional requirement under the 74th Amendment Act to ensure decentralized, participatory planning at the local level, which is a core tenet of inclusive governance. Increasing government spending on public health and strengthening the Mid-day Meal Scheme are critical social welfare measures that address human development, nutrition, and health equity for disadvantaged groups [2]. While financial inclusion is a key enabler of development [3], permitting Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) to perform banking functions is a matter of financial regulation and structural reform rather than an essential component of inclusive governance itself [5]. Therefore, statements 2, 3, and 4 are the essential parts of inclusive governance.
