Read the programmes related to the proposed Bharatmala umbrella scheme carefully and choose the correct option:
I. Backward areas, religious and tourist places connectivity programme
2. To interconnect the four metropolitan cities of the country
3. To develop State roads in adjoining coastal areas
4. To connect non-major ports in coastal states
Only I, II and IV are correct.
The Bharatmala scheme primarily focuses on connecting backward areas, religious/tourist sites
(I), developing state roads in coastal areas
(III), and linking non-major ports
(IV). Interconnecting the four metropolitan cities
(II) is not a component of this scheme.
