Last updated May 30, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — 2 only
Detailed Explanation:
SATH Programme (Sustainable Action for Transforming Human Capital): Launched by NITI Aayog in 2017, this program was specifically designed to initiate transformation in the education and health sectors in partnership with state governments.

NITI Aayog selected three states for the educational transformation vertical (Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha) and three for the health vertical (Assam, Karnataka, and Madhya Pradesh) to build role-model governance systems.

Why not the others?

1. Unnat Bharat Abhiyan: This is a flagship program of the Ministry of Education (not NITI Aayog). Its objective is to link Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) with a set of at least five villages to contribute to the economic and social betterment of these rural communities using their knowledge base.

3. SETU Programme (Self Employment and Talent Utilization): This is a techno-financial, incubation, and facilitation program launched under NITI Aayog, but its objective is to support all aspects of start-up businesses and other self-employment activities, particularly in technology-driven areas. It is not related to health or school education infrastructure.
