Consider the following statements:Statement-I: The National Clean Air ...
Explanation of the Statements
The statements provided address two key initiatives concerning air quality and urban development in India.
Statement-I: NCAP and Air Quality
- The National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) was indeed launched in response to the alarming deterioration of air quality in several Indian cities.
- This initiative aims to tackle air pollution through a systematic approach, involving various stakeholders and actions to improve air quality.
Statement-II: AMRUT 1.0 and Air Quality
- AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) 1.0 primarily focused on urban infrastructure and services.
- While it aimed to enhance urban living conditions, it did not adequately address air quality concerns directly.
- The program's primary objectives revolved around water supply, sewerage, and urban transport, with less emphasis on air pollution control.
Correct Answer Justification
- Given that Statement-I is accurate, as the NCAP was indeed launched due to worsening air quality, it is correct.
- However, Statement-II is misleading; AMRUT 1.0 did not sufficiently tackle air quality issues, making it incorrect.
Therefore, the correct interpretation is:
- Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect.
This aligns with option 'C' as the correct answer.
