Correct option is B
NABARD was established in the year
1982 to promote agricultural credit and rural development activities in India. The
Etawah Pilot Project was initiated in
1948 as an experimental rural development programme. The
National Demonstration programme started in
1964 to demonstrate improved agricultural practices to farmers. The
Community Development Programme was launched in
1952 to achieve overall socio-economic rural development.

apex development bank for agriculture, rural development, and allied sectors. The Community Development Programme marked the beginning of
planned and integrated rural development in India. National Demonstrations helped in
accelerating the adoption of improved technologies among farmers. The Etawah Pilot Project laid the foundation for
future rural development programmes in the country.
