Which of the following is not the objective of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission ?
Answer: D
The key is D, 'to make more strong urban local self-government'. This rests on the mission's published objectives; I could not open the official overview to check each line.
JNNURM's objectives, as summarised in sources found, are integrated development of urban infrastructure services, linking asset creation with asset management, adequate funds for infrastructure deficiencies, planned development of cities including peri-urban areas, and special focus on renewal of the old city areas, with basic services for the urban poor. Options A, B and C are phrased as objectives of that kind.
Strengthening urban local bodies is the aim of the mission's reforms (linked to the 74th Amendment), not a stated objective, which makes D the odd one out on the key's reading. This is a fine distinction, and a reader who treats the reforms as an objective would mark D as correct.
