  3. C
    1 only
  4. D
    1, 2 and 3

Answer

1 and 2 only
The combination '1 and 2 only' is correct because Mukhyamantri Abhyudaya Yojana was established to deliver free coaching and guidance to candidates preparing for national and state-level competitive exams (UPSC, UPPSC, JEE, NEET, etc.), and it is executed under the aegis of the Social Welfare Department of Uttar Pradesh. The scheme does not function as an unconditional cash handout program, rendering the third statement false.

Statement 3 is incorrect.
