Question

With reference to Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana, consider the following statements:

1. It is the flagship scheme of the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

2. It, among other things, will also impart training in soft skills, entrepreneurship, financial and digital literacy.

3. It aims to align the competencies of the unregulated workforce of the country to the National Skill Qualification Framework.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

(a) 1 and 3 only

(b) 2 only

(c) 2 and 3 only

(d) 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) 2 and 3 only

PMKVY is the flagship outcome-based skill training scheme of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). So, #1 is wrong, Ministry of Skill Development is created with core focus on converging all skill development initiatives in the country under one National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF). So, #3 ought to be right. Thus by elimination we get the answer C: 2 and 3 only.
