Answer: C. Rashtriya Garima Abhiyan is a national campaign, led by civil society groups, to end manual scavenging and help manual scavengers move to dignified work.

  • A. Wrong because the campaign is not about the homeless and destitute.
  • B. Wrong because it is not aimed at sex workers.
  • D. Wrong because bonded labour is a separate issue.
