Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) None
Both the Drought-Prone Area Programme (DPAP) and the Desert Development Programme (DDP) are run by the Department of Land Resources in the Ministry of Rural Development, not by the Ministries listed in statements 1 and 2. The National Watershed Development Project for Rain-fed Areas (NWDPRA) is implemented by the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation under the Ministry of Agriculture, not Rural Development, so pair 3 is also incorrect. As none of the three pairs match, the correct choice is ‘None’ (option d). ([karmayog.org](https://karmayog.org/rural-development/watershed-development-programmes/?utm_source=openai))
