The Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship is specifically given to Scheduled Tribe (ST) students in India. It aims to provide financial assistance to ST students pursuing higher education at the M.Phil. and Ph.D. levels.

Let`s analyze the other options to understand why they are not the correct answers:

Option 1 states that the fellowship is given to young victims of war or famine in other countries to pursue studies in India. This option is incorrect as the fellowship is specifically targeted towards ST students in India, not international students.

Option 2 suggests that the fellowship is awarded to poor Indian students pursuing certain specialized subjects in other countries. While this may be a similar scholarship program, it is not the Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship. The correct answer focuses on ST students, not all poor Indian students.

Option 3 mentions that the fellowship is awarded to destitute Indian children pursuing studies up to the university level. Again, this option is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the target group of ST students pursuing M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, which accurately describes that the Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship is given to ST students to enable them to obtain M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees.
