A
Helping the poorest among poor
💡 Explanation:
The Antyodaya Programme, launched on 5th October 1975, was aimed at uplifting the poorest of the poor (Antyodaya means 'rise of the last person'). It focused on improving the condition of the weakest sections of society through employment generation and asset creation. The program was not limited to scheduled castes or urban areas specifically, but targeted all economically vulnerable persons at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
