Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved the continuation of the revamped Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) for implementation during the period from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2026 (co-terminus with the 15th Finance Commission period), not from 1st April 2021.

Statement 2 is correct: The primary objective of the revamped RGSA is to develop the governance capabilities of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a focus on poverty-free and enhanced livelihood villages, healthy villages, child-friendly villages, water-sufficient villages, etc.

Statement 3 is incorrect: RGSA is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme. The funding pattern for the State components is in the ratio of 60:40 between the Centre and States. For North Eastern, Hilly States, and the UT of J&K, the ratio is 90:10. It is 100% centrally funded only for other Union Territories.

This is a classic scheme-based trap. UPSC loves testing the exact timelines (often co-terminus with Finance Commissions) and funding ratios of 'revamped' or extended schemes. Rely on PIB summaries for flagship Ministry of Panchayati Raj schemes.
