Consider the following statements regarding education, health, and welfare schemes and their implementation in Bihar:

  1. 1. Under the 'Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana', the Government of Bihar provides financial assistance of up to Rs. 50,000 in various stages through DBT to girls from birth till the completion of graduation, aiming to prevent child marriage and encourage higher education.
  2. 2. To improve nutrition and health levels among students from classes 1 to 12 in government schools, the 'Pradhan Mantri Poshan Yojana' (Mid-Day Meal Scheme) now includes the provision of fortified rice, eggs, or seasonal fruits on a weekly basis alongside cooked meals.
  3. 3. Under the 'Mukhyamantri Balika Cycle Yojana', female students passing class 8 and enrolling in class 9 in a government school were earlier given cash to purchase bicycles, which was later directly transferred to their bank accounts via DBT, leading to an unprecedented increase in girls' enrollment in secondary schools.
  4. 4. Under the 'Mukhyamantri Digital Health Yojana' implemented to strengthen the health sector, all district hospitals and primary health centers (PHCs) are being made completely paperless and operated exclusively on an offline medical record system to maintain digital security.

Which of the above statement(s) is/are completely true?

Detailed Explanation & Solution

Statements 1, 2, and 3 are completely true. The 'Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana' provides up to Rs. 50,000 for girls' education up to graduation. The mid-day meal scheme emphasizes fortified food and nutrition. The cycle scheme has played a historic role in boosting girls' enrollment at the secondary level. Statement 4 is false because the 'Mukhyamantri Digital Health Yojana' makes health centers paperless and digital record-based, not exclusively offline.
