Which of the following statements with respect to the Revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) is/are correct?
1. The period of its implementation is 1st April, 2022 to 31st March, 2026.
2. The key objective of the Revamped RGSA is to develop the governance capabilities of the Panchayati Raj Institutions to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals.
3. The share of the Central funding for the Revamped RGSA is 100% for all States and Union Territories.

Last updated Jun 17, 2026
Correct Answer: Option A — 1 and 2
Here is the statement-wise analysis: Statement 1 is correct: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the continuation and revamping of the scheme for implementation from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2026 (making it co-terminus with the 15th Finance Commission period). Statement 2 is correct: The core focus of the Revamped RGSA is the Localization of Sustainable Development Goals (LSDGs). It aims to improve the governance, planning, and implementation capabilities of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) so they can effectively deliver on primary SDGs at the grassroots level. Statement 3 is incorrect: It is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, meaning the funding is shared. For the State component, the funding pattern is 60:40 between the Centre and General States. For North-Eastern States, Hilly States, and the UT of Jammu & Kashmir, it is 90:10. The Central funding is 100% only for the remaining Union Territories (UTs), not for all States.
