Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct scheme is the Rajiv Gandhi Krishak Sathi Sahayata Yojana, launched by the Government of Rajasthan. It provides financial assistance to a farmer or agricultural worker (or their family) in case of death or dismemberment in an accident that occurs while doing agricultural work or while working in a krishi mandi. Up to Rs. 2 lakh is paid in the case of accidental death, with graded amounts for various injuries and loss of limbs. Eligible persons are aged between 18 and 75 years. The other options refer to different programmes: the National Rural Livelihood Mission is a Centre-sponsored poverty-alleviation and self-employment programme, while Mukhyamantri Rajshri Yojana is a girl-child welfare scheme.
