Which one of the following statements is not correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 3 is incorrect because the 'Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana' (SGRY) was launched in September 2001 by merging the 'Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojana' (JGSY) and the 'Employment Assurance Scheme' (EAS) [3]. It was not a restructuring of the 'Integrated Rural Development Programme' (IRDP). In fact, the IRDP and its allied schemes were restructured into the 'Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana' (SGSY) in April 1999 [2]. Other statements are correct: SJSRY is an urban self-employment programme launched in 1997 [1]; the Drought-Prone Area Programme (DPAP) and Desert Development Programme (DDP) were launched in 1973-74 and 1977-78 respectively [4]; and SGSY is indeed a rural self-employment programme [5].
