C
Correct answer
Explanation
The Rural Employment Generation Programme (REGP) specifically targeted rural areas with population constraints. Statement 1 (All villages) is incorrect - REGP didn't target every village indiscriminately. Statement 2 (villages < 2000 population) is correct as REGP focused on smaller rural settlements. Statement 3 (Small towns) is also correct as REGP extended to small urban areas. Statement 4 (cities < 10000) is incorrect. Therefore, only statements 2 and 3 are correct, making option C the right answer.
