Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. Ministry of Human Resource DevelopmentC. मानव संसाधन विकास मंत्रालय
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, the correct answer is the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
The book describes the Midday Meal Scheme as an Indian Government school-meal programme designed to improve the nutritional status of school-age children across the country.
It states that the programme provides free lunch on working days to children in primary and upper-primary classes in government schools.
The source then notes that the Ministry of Human Resource Development is now known as the Education Ministry.
Thus, for the question as framed in the book, the key association is: Midday Meal Scheme → Ministry of Human Resource Development.
The remaining options are the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Social Welfare.
The ministry name in the answer is preserved because that is the historical terminology used in the question and printed solution.
The source's note about the later name change helps distinguish historical exam wording from later administrative terminology.
Therefore option (c), represented by zero-based answer index 2, is correct.
स्रोत के अनुसार सही उत्तर मानव संसाधन विकास मंत्रालय है। पुस्तक Midday Meal Scheme को भारत सरकार का school-meal programme बताती है, जिसका उद्देश्य देश भर में school-age children की nutritional स्थिति में सुधार करना है। स्रोत के अनुसार यह कार्यक्रम government schools में primary और upper-primary classes के बच्चों को working days पर निःशुल्क दोपहर का भोजन उपलब्ध कराता है। पुस्तक आगे नोट करती है कि Ministry of Human Resource Development को बाद में Education Ministry के नाम से जाना जाने लगा। इसलिए पुस्तक में पूछे गए प्रश्न के अनुसार मुख्य संबंध है: Midday Meal Scheme → Ministry of Human Resource Development। अन्य विकल्प Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Ministry of Home Affairs और Ministry of Social Welfare हैं। उत्तर में मंत्रालय का ऐतिहासिक नाम इसलिए सुरक्षित रखा गया है क्योंकि प्रश्न और printed solution इसी terminology का प्रयोग करते हैं। स्रोत में दिया गया नाम-परिवर्तन का note historical exam wording को समझने में सहायता करता है। इसलिए विकल्प (c), zero-based index 2, सही है।
