Explanation:

- I. Specific Poverty Alleviation Programmes: India has implemented various targeted programmes aimed at directly reducing poverty, such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) which provides wage employment.

- II. Growth-oriented development: This approach focuses on achieving high economic growth rates. The idea is that a growing economy creates jobs and income opportunities, indirectly reducing poverty.

- III. Meeting the minimum needs of the poor: This involves providing basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, education, and healthcare to the poor, ensuring a minimum living standard.

- Option 1: I and III only - This means using targeted programs and ensuring minimum needs are met, without focusing on economic growth.

- Option 2: I and II only - This involves targeted programs and economic growth, but neglects direct provision of basic needs.

- Option 3: II and III only - This emphasizes economic growth and meeting basic needs but omits specific poverty programs.

- Option 4: I, II, and III all - This is the most comprehensive approach, combining direct programs, growth, and basic needs, which the Indian government has historically pursued.
