Consider the following statements: Statement-I- Vibrant Villages Programme-II (VVP-II) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme that shares funding between the Centre and States. Statement-II- Unlike VVP-I, VVP-II excludes villages along the northern border. Which one of the following is correct in respect to the above statements?
Statement – I is incorrect, but Statement -II is correct
Why in the news?
"Government launches Vibrant Villages Programme-II to develop strategic villages along India's land borders”
Statement-I is incorrect
VVP-II is a Central Sector Scheme, not Centrally Sponsored. It is fully funded by the Central Government without cost-sharing with states. This differentiates it from VVP-I, which had a shared funding model between the Centre and participating state governments.
Statement-II is correct
VVP-II focuses on strategic villages along international land borders, excluding those in northern border blocks already covered under VVP-I (2023–24). This ensures non-overlapping implementation while expanding development to other critical border regions across 17 states and Union Territories.
Therefore, Statement – I is incorrect, but Statement -II is correct
