The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The Intensive Agricultural District Programme (IADP), launched in 1960-61 and often called the "Package Programme", concentrated resources, technology and institutional credit in selected high-potential districts, and it explicitly tied each participating farmer's individual farm plan to the credit needed to carry it out.
This integrated, credit-linked approach set IADP apart from earlier, more general community-development-style programmes.
The Community Development Programme and Etawah Pilot Project were broader rural welfare efforts, while the Integrated Rural Development Programme came later in 1978 with a different focus, which leaves IADP as the correct match.
