Which of the following can be said to be essentially the parts of 'Inclusive Governance'? 1. Permitting the Non-Banking Financial Companies to do banking. 2. Establishing effective District Planning Committees in all the districts. 3. Increasing the government spending on public health. 4. Strengthening the Mid-day Meal Scheme. Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 3 and 4 only
C. 2, 3 and 4 only
D. 1, 2, 3 and 4
Answer

C

Explanation

Inclusive governance means governance that reaches out and includes marginalised sections. Establishing effective District Planning Committees (decentralisation — reaches grassroots), increasing government spending on public health (accessible healthcare), and strengthening the Mid-day Meal Scheme (reaches underprivileged children) are all parts of inclusive governance. Permitting NBFCs to do banking (statement 1) is a financial/banking regulatory matter, not directly inclusive governance.
