Correct Answer: Gadgil Committee
   


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Gadgil Committee

The Gadgil Committee, also known as the Committee on Plan Projects in the 1960s, recommended the establishment of the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) as an institutional framework for implementing rural development programs at the district level. The committee recognized the need for decentralized planning and implementation of rural development schemes to effectively address the specific needs and challenges of each district.

Based on the recommendations of the Gadgil Committee, the Government of India established the District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) in 1980. The DRDA serves as the principal implementing agency for various rural development programs and schemes, coordinating and monitoring their implementation at the district level. It plays a crucial role in planning, execution, and evaluation of rural development activities, with the aim of promoting sustainable and inclusive rural development.
