Explanation:

- Option 1: "when" is used to refer to the time of an event or situation. "I met a panchayat president when a state literacy programme" doesn't fit grammatically, as "when" would typically need to be in conjunction with an independent clause.

- Option 2: "while" indicates two actions happening at the same time, but requires both to be ongoing actions. "I met a panchayat president while a state literacy programme" doesn’t clearly establish the simultaneous ongoing actions.

- Option 3: "during" is used to denote something happening throughout a specific timeframe or event. "I met a panchayat president during a state literacy programme" is grammatically correct as it indicates the meeting happened in the course of the literacy programme.

- Option 4: "which" introduces a relative clause, not suitable here as it doesn't correctly follow the word structure for this context.
