(3) (C) and (E) only

(4) (C), (D), (E) only

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 3

The correct answer is Option (3) → (C) and (E) only

(A) Poverty Incorrect. These schemes do not give relief to the poor directly. They work by creating jobs and enterprises, which is a different aim.

(B) Unemployment Incorrect. Unemployment is the problem in the background, but the schemes are named by what they set out to do: to generate employment. They are programmes for employment, not on unemployment.

(C) Employment Correct. The Government of India floated schemes such as ‘MUDRA’, ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ in order to generate employment. Make in India invites firms to manufacture in the country, which creates jobs.

(D) Labour movements Incorrect. A labour movement is the collective struggle of workers, through their trade unions, for better wages and conditions. It is organised by the workers themselves; a government scheme is not a labour movement.

(E) Self-employment Correct. Self-employment is one of the two components of employment, beside a job in an organisation. The same schemes aim to generate self-employment, and Start Up India helps people set up new enterprises of their own.

NCERT (2025-26): “Globalisation, Liberalisation and Changes in Indian Industry … Employment opportunities have two important components: (i) job in an organisation as a casual wage labourer or regular salaried (ii) Self-employment Recently the Government of India floated many schemes, such as ‘MUDRA’, ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ in order to generate employment and self-employment to support all sections including the marginalised section of the society, like SC, ST and other backward classes. These are positive signs for creating economic potential amongst the demographic dividend of India.…”
