Which of the above statement(s) is/are completely true?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Statements 1, 3, and 4 are completely true, while statement 2 is partially flawed because the 'Mukhyamantri Chikitsa Sahayata Kosh' primarily assists poor and terminally ill patients who fall outside the scope of Ayushman Bharat or other central schemes, though its scope and administrative procedures are revised periodically. The Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana has been a milestone for the empowerment of girls, under which ₹50,000 is directly credited upon graduation. Similarly, the Student Credit Card Scheme is proving to be a boon, where the interest rate for women and differently-abled is only 1%.
