Achieving 100% literacy by promoting collaboration between voluntary organizations and government's education system and local communities.
Connecting institutions of higher education with local communities to address development challenges through appropriate technologies.
Strengthening India's scientific research institutions in order to make India a scientific and technological power.
Developing human capital by allocating special funds for health care and education of rural and urban poor, and organizing skill development programmes and vocational training for them.

Answer

Connecting institutions of higher education with local communities to address development challenges through appropriate technologies.

(a) Incorrect. This describes a literacy-oriented social programme, not Unnat Bharat Abhiyan. UBA is not aimed at achieving 100% literacy through NGOs and government schools.
(b) Correct. Unnat Bharat Abhiyan aims to connect higher educational institutions with villages/local communities so they can help solve development challenges using appropriate technologies and knowledge support.
(c) Incorrect. This is about strengthening scientific research institutions at the national level; UBA is a community engagement and rural development initiative, not a research-capacity mission.
(d) Incorrect. This refers broadly to human capital development and welfare/skill funding; UBA’s core focus is institution-community linkage for rural transformation, not direct welfare financing.
