Which of the following programmes is NOT a part of the Tenth Five-Year Plan?

The correct answer is Drought Prone Area Programme.

Explanation:

The Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP) is the earliest area-development programme launched by the Central Government. It was initiated in 1973–74 (during the Fourth Five-Year Plan) to minimize the adverse effects of drought on vegetation, land, water resources, and livestock.

On the other hand, the remaining programmes listed were introduced during the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2002–2007):
• National Horticulture Mission (NHM): Launched in 2005–06 under the Tenth Plan to promote holistic growth of the horticulture sector.
• Micro Irrigation Programme: Centrally Sponsored Scheme launched in 2005–06 during the Tenth Plan to improve water-use efficiency.
• Jute Technology Mission: Approved in 2006 during the Tenth Plan for research, development, and modernization of the jute sector.

Therefore, the Drought Prone Area Programme was NOT a part of the Tenth Five-Year Plan.
