Answer

Correct Answer

2 only

Explanation

The key objective of the Revamped RGSA is to strengthen the capabilities of Panchayati Raj Institutions so that they can deliver better and more qualitative governance. Statement 1 is incorrect because the stated implementation period does not match the scheme's approved period. Statement 3 is incorrect because Central funding is not 100% for all States; the funding pattern varies according to the category of State or Union Territory.
