Solution

The correct option is B Swarna Jayanthi Gram Swarojgar Yojana
In 1999, the Government of India launched the Swarna Jayanthi Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY) under the Ministry of Rural Development. It is aimed at organising rural people into self-help groups (SHGs), providing them with skill development training, and helping them to get access to loans, and supporting them in marketing their products. SHGs are community-based associations in which people organise themselves to work towards a common goal or a common issue and to enhance their living standards.
