Question

Choose the correct pair:

Options

• DWCRA - Encouraging deforestation

• UJWALA YOJANA - Reducing indoor air pollution

• Ayushman Bharat - employing rural farmers

• PMJY - Distributing LPG connections

Answer 1

UJWALA YOJANA - Reducing indoor air pollution

Explanation:

This pair is correct because the primary goal of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is to reduce hazardous indoor air pollution by providing clean cooking LPG connections to rural and below-the-poverty-line households. It systematically replaces traditional, toxic fuels like firewood, coal, and dried cow dung, thereby safeguarding the respiratory health of women and children. All other pairs are incorrect because DWCRA empowers rural women economically rather than encouraging deforestation, Ayushman Bharat provides national healthcare insurance coverage instead of agricultural employment, and the abbreviation for distributing LPG cylinders is PMUY (Ujjwala Yojana) rather than PMJY
