Statements 1 and 2 are correct, while statement 3 is incorrect.
The Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme guarantees 125 days of wage labor per financial year to eligible families living in urban local body areas. The scheme requires beneficiaries to be in the 18 to 60 years age bracket and registered through the Jan Aadhaar platform. The nodal supervisory body is the Department of Local Self Government (Urban Governance), rendering the first two statements accurate and the third statement false.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate Statement 1 regarding employment days
Statement 1 is correct
The Indira Gandhi Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme (IRGY) was introduced to provide livelihood security in urban areas, guaranteeing 100 days initially, which was subsequently increased to 125 days of wage employment per household per financial year.
2
Evaluate Statement 2 regarding beneficiary eligibility and age criteria
Statement 2 is correct
Members of families residing within the limits of urban local bodies aged between 18 and 60 years who hold a Jan Aadhaar card or registration are eligible for work allocation under the scheme.
3
Evaluate Statement 3 regarding the nodal implementing department
Statement 3 is incorrect
Because the scheme caters specifically to urban local bodies (municipal corporations, councils, and municipalities), its nodal implementing agency is the Department of Local Self Government (LSG), Rajasthan, not the Department of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj.
