(d) 2 and 3

Answer :

Explanation:

Statement 1 is not correct: The implementation period of the Revamped RGSA is 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2026, NOT 2021. The Revamped RGSA was approved on April 13, 2022 and will run from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2026, co-terminus with the XV Finance Commission cycle. The original RGSA ran from 2018–19 to 2021–22.
Statement 2 is correct: The primary objective of Revamped RGSA is to develop the governance capabilities of the Panchayats to deliver on SDGs covered within the purview of Panchayats.
Statement 3 is not correct: 100% central funding does not apply to all States and UTs. The funding pattern for State Components is 60:40 for Centre and States respectively; 90:10 for NE, Hilly States and UT of J&K; and 100% central share only for other UTs (without legislature). General States have a 40% state share obligation.
