C.1, 2 and 3
D.1 only
Explanation
Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) was launched on 11 October 2014 on the birth anniversary of Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan. The scheme is administered by the Ministry of Rural Development, not the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, so statement 1 is incorrect. Mahatma Gandhi's vision of Gram Swaraj is indeed the guiding inspiration behind the scheme, which envisages Members of Parliament adopting Gram Panchayats and developing them into model villages. Therefore only statements 2 and 3 are correct.
