Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3 only

• The SAMANWAYA scheme is specifically tailored to cater to the needs of the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities.

• These communities have historically faced significant socio-economic challenges, and targeted interventions like SAMANWAYA are designed to provide them with the necessary tools and support to overcome these barriers.

• While other schemes might address broader backward classes, SAMANWAYA's specific focus allows for more concentrated efforts in career and employability development for these particularly vulnerable groups.
