Answer & Explanation / उत्तर और व्याख्या
उत्तर: साफ exclusion नहीं
Explanation: Swachh Bharat includes an explicit Gramin component, so calling it wholly non rural is false.
व्याख्या: Source(c) देता है, लेकिन Swachh Bharat Mission–Gramin ग्रामीण sanitation programme है। बाकी तीन भी rural skills/roads/social assistance से जुड़े हैं। SBM को wholly non rural बताना factually wrong है; “exclusive rural” पूछना भी NSAP जैसे broader programme पर clarification माँगता है।
