Community Development Programme started on :

  • A.2nd October, 1950
  • B.23rd March, 1950
  • C.2nd October, 1952
  • D.2nd October, 1964

Answer: C

The Community Development Programme started on 2nd October, 1952.

It was launched on Gandhi Jayanti in 1952 in 55 project areas, with help from the Ford Foundation, to bring about the all-round development of rural life through people's participation. The National Extension Service followed on 2 October 1953.

1950 is the year the Planning Commission was set up and the First Five Year Plan was being prepared, and by 1964 the programme had been extended across the country, so neither of those dates marks its start.
