The Service Area Approach was implemented under the purview of

Shows IRDP was formed by bringing together several area‑based programmes (CADP, DPAP, SFDA, MFALA), indicating IRDP functioned as a consolidation of area/targeted schemes.

A student could use this pattern (IRDP as a vehicle for area‑based programmes) plus knowledge that Service Area Approach is an area/block‑level planning method to assess whether it plausibly would be subsumed under IRDP.

States IRDP was implemented through District Rural Development Agencies (DRDAs) and Block Level Agencies, highlighting block/district level administrative purview.

Given Service Area Approach operates at bank branches covering blocks/districts, one could check if its administrative units matched DRDA/block units to infer likely overlap with IRDP implementation mechanisms.

Describes IRDP’s initial confinement to specific development blocks and its objective to introduce schemes to develop the production potential of each area.

A student could combine this area/block focus with the known territorial nature of a Service Area Approach to evaluate whether the latter fits IRDP’s operational design.

Notes IRDP was introduced across all blocks (5011) with targets per block to assist families—emphasising blockwise implementation and asset provision.

Using this blockwise targetting fact, a student could ask if Service Area Approach’s blockwise coverage for services/credit would be consistent with IRDP’s block implementation and therefore likely coordinated under it.

Shows other programmes (DPAP, DDP, IWDP) were consolidated and their implementation basis shifted to watershed/area approaches—illustrating a pattern of grouping area‑based interventions under integrated schemes.

A student could use this consolidation pattern to hypothesize that similarly area‑oriented approaches (such as Service Area Approach) might be placed within larger integrated programmes like IRDP and then verify with targeted sources.
