In the question given below, there are 2 statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Choose the correct alternative from the following options.

Assertion (A)- Self-employment generation measures were initiated by the government of India including the "Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP)" to solve the problem of unemployment. 

Reason (R)- Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana and MNREGA are some examples of wage employment schemes initiated by the government.

Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

The correct answer is Option 2: Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Assertion (A)- Self-employment generation measures were initiated by the Government of India including the "Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP)" to solve the problem of unemployment. This is correct. Examples of self-employment programmes are Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP), Prime Minister’s Rozgar Yojana (PMRY) and Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY).

Reason (R)- Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana and MNREGA are some examples of wage employment schemes initiated by the government. This is also correct. SJSRY mainly aims at creating employment opportunities—both selfemployment and wage employment—in urban areas. The objective of MNREGA is to provide guaranteed wage employment to every rural household whose adult volunteer is to do unskilled manual work for a minimum of 100 days in a year.

While both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, Reason (R) does not directly explain why self-employment generation measures were initiated.
