Question

Which one of the following is not a measure of reducing inequalities?

  1. Minimum-Needs Programme
  2. Liberalization of economy
  3. Taxation
  4. Land Reforms

Answer:

Option B: Liberalization of economy

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Liberalization of economy”.

Liberalization of the economy generally refers to the reduction of state involvement in economic activities, promoting free-market principles.

While it can lead to overall economic growth, it does not specifically target reducing inequalities and can sometimes exacerbate them if the benefits are not distributed evenly.
