Option 1 : Kerala
The correct answer is Kerala.
- On May 17, 1998, former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee officially launched Kudumbashree, the Kerala State Poverty Eradication Mission.
- Under the direction of Local Self Governments established and given authority by the 73rd and 74th Amendments to the Indian Constitution, the Mission aspires to remove absolute poverty within a set time frame of ten years.
- By putting the impoverished in community-based groups, the Mission established by the State Government with the active assistance of the Government of India and NABARD has adopted a novel approach to combating poverty.
- Instead of using a project-based strategy, the Mission uses a process approach.
- Bringing together women from all walks of life to fight for their rights or for empowerment, Kudumbashree, a community organisation of Neighborhood Groups (NHGs) of women in Kerala, has been recognised as a successful method for the empowerment of women in rural as well as urban regions.
