Explanationव्याख्या

The correct answer is 1975.
According to the source, Regional Rural Banks were established in 1975 under the provisions of an Ordinance promulgated in 1975 and the Regional Rural Banks Act, 1976.
The book explains that their purpose was to develop the rural economy by providing credit and other facilities to small and marginal farmers, agricultural labourers, artisans and small entrepreneurs.
It further connects these facilities with the development of agriculture, trade, commerce, industry and other productive activities in rural areas.
Most importantly, the source identifies Prathama Bank as the first Regional Rural Bank established in India in 1975.
Therefore the source-supported revision chain is: RRBs → 1975 → Ordinance of 1975 → RRB Act 1976 → rural credit and development → small
marginal farmers, labourers, artisans and entrepreneurs → Prathama Bank = first RRB according to source.
The years 1982, 1980 and 1991 are distractors.
Quick revision: First RRB = Prathama Bank = 1975 according to source.
Therefore option (c) is correct.

सही उत्तर 1975 है। स्रोत के अनुसार Regional Rural Banks की स्थापना 1975 में promulgated Ordinance और Regional Rural Banks Act, 1976 के provisions के अंतर्गत की गई। Book बताती है कि इनका उद्देश्य rural economy का development करना था। इसके लिए small and marginal farmers, agricultural labourers, artisans तथा small entrepreneurs को credit और अन्य facilities उपलब्ध कराई जाती थीं। Source इन सुविधाओं को agriculture, trade, commerce, industry और rural areas की अन्य productive activities के development से जोड़ती है। सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि source Prathama Bank को India का first Regional Rural Bank बताती है, जिसकी स्थापना 1975 में हुई। इसलिए source-supported revision chain है: RRB → 1975 → Ordinance 1975 → RRB Act 1976 → Rural Credit → Prathama Bank = First RRB। Quick revision: First Regional Rural Bank = Prathama Bank = 1975 according to source। इसलिए विकल्प (c) सही है।
