Which of the statements above is/are correct?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) 2, 3, and 4

Explanation:

The initial target of the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) was to reduce PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations by 20-30% by 2024, compared to 2017 levels. However, the government later revised this target to a 40% reduction in PM10 levels by 2025-26.
The Jal Jeevan Mission, launched in 2019, aims to provide safe drinking water to every rural household in India through individual household tap connections by 2024.
The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) (launched in 2013) aims to achieve national fuel security by promoting electric and hybrid vehicles to reduce India's dependency on oil imports and improve environmental sustainability .
The FAME India Scheme (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles), introduced in 2015, is a part of the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) and aims to promote the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) by offering subsidies on the purchase of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM)

Objective:
To provide Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTC) to every rural household by 2024 under the initiative Har Ghar Jal. The mission also integrates the National Rural Drinking Water Program (NRDWP), which was restructured.

Key Features:

• Coverage: Aims to provide tap water connections to 19 crore rural households.
• Funding Pattern:
• 90:10 for the Himalayan & North-Eastern states
• 50:50 for other states
• 100% funding for Union Territories

• Water Quality Monitoring: Ensures safe drinking water by adhering to the IS 10500:2012 standards for water quality.

National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMPP):

The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) was launched by the Ministry of Heavy Industry in 2013 to promote electric mobility in India.

Key Targets:

• Deployment of 5 to 7 million electric vehicles (EVs) across the country by 2020.
• Introduction of 400,000 passenger battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by 2020 to reduce 120 million barrels of oil imports and cut down 4 million tons of CO2 emissions.
• Achieving a 1.3% to 1.5% reduction in vehicular emissions by 2020.
• The plan also required a total investment of approximately INR 20,000 - 23,000 crore (around 3 billion USD).
