Correct Answer

B Only two

Model Answer

  • Haryana introduced gender budgeting from the financial year 2008-09 and a separate gender budget statement is presented along with the annual budget of the State. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Old Age Samman Allowance

  • The Old Age Samman Allowance is a flagship social security scheme of the Government of Haryana and is financed largely from the resources of the State. The Central Government contributes only a small assistance under the National Social Assistance Programme, so the scheme is not run with hundred per cent central support. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
  • Haryana is among the States with the highest per capita income in the country and its per capita income has consistently remained much above the national average. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
  • Therefore, only two statements are correct.
