Effective implementation of rights-based legislations often requires convergence between multiple schemes and departments; for example, improving child nutrition under NFSA requires coordination between the Ministries of Women and Child Development, Health, and ______.
- Agriculture
- Rural Development
- Education
- All of the above
Answer: All of the above
Rights-based legislations are interlinked: (a) NFSA (food security) requires Agriculture (production), Rural Development (PDS infrastructure), Health (nutrition monitoring), WCD (ICDS for children), (b) RTE Act requires Education (schools), Rural Development (infrastructure), Finance (funding), (c) MGNREGA requires Rural Development (implementation), Finance (wages), Environment (asset creation). Siloed administration hampers convergence; need for integrated planning, shared databases, joint monitoring to realize rights holistically.
