The Vayo Samman Rashtriya Abhiyan has been launched under which umbrella scheme?
- A.Atal Vayo Abhyuday Yojana
- B.Atal Pension Yojana
- C.Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana
- D.Integrated Programme for Older Persons
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Atal Vayo Abhyuday Yojana. The campaign for intergenerational bonding was launched under this umbrella scheme of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, and the Union Minister described it as a meeting of the experience of elders and the energy of the young. Option B is wrong because the pension scheme of a similar name is a savings and pension product and has nothing to do with this campaign. Option C is wrong because that scheme supplies assistive devices to needy older persons and was not named as the parent of this campaign. Option D is wrong for the same reason, as it is a separate programme for older persons rather than the umbrella under which this launch took place. Candidates should also remember the 5C model and the Vayo SAATHI volunteer initiative started on the same day.
