Option 2: Promoting non-farm employment opportunities
Option 3: Enhancing access to credit facilities for farmers
Option 4: Privatization of public sector enterprises
Correct Answer: Privatization of public sector enterprises
Solution : The correct answer is (d) Privatization of public sector enterprises.
Privatization of public sector enterprises is not a specific measure aimed at reducing rural poverty in India. Privatization refers to the transfer of ownership and control of public sector enterprises to the private sector. While privatization can have various economic and efficiency implications, it is not a targeted measure specifically designed to address rural poverty.
