The objectives of the Mitigating Poverty in Western Rajasthan program mainly focus on improving the living conditions of people in drought-prone and economically weaker desert regions.

Its major objectives include:

• Drought mitigation and water security

• Income enhancement and employment generation

• Market-led productivity improvements

These objectives aim to improve agriculture, livestock, water management, and rural livelihoods in western Rajasthan.

However, “Expansion of industrialization in the Thar Desert” is not one of the stated objectives of this poverty mitigation program. The program is more focused on sustainable rural development rather than industrial expansion.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.
