Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under the Skill India Programme: 1.        NSDC acts as a catalyst in skill development by providing funding to enterprises, companies, and organizations. 2.        NSDC is responsible for creating a vocational training framework. 3.        NSDC directly conducts skill training programs. Which of the above statements are correct?  Read the following passage and answer the Questions (Q no. 13 to 16) based on the passage. Skilling in rural India is essential for empowering individuals, fostering economic growth, and bridging the gap between rural and urban development. With a significant portion of India's population residing in rural areas, equipping people with the right skills can unlock new opportunities, drive economic independence, and improve overall living standards. In a rapidly evolving global economy, skill development is no longer a luxury but a necessity, especially in regions where traditional means of livelihood like agriculture are increasingly vulnerable to uncertainty. One of the primary reasons for promoting skilling in rural India is to enhance employability. Many rural communities face limited job prospects due to the lack of specialized skills or access to quality education. By providing vocational training and skill development programs in areas such as carpentry, plumbing, tailoring, digital literacy, and agro-based industries, rural individuals can access more stable and diverse job opportunities. This makes them more competitive in both local and urban job markets, reducing the need for migration in search of employment. In addition to boosting employability, skilling also plays a vital role in supporting entrepreneurship in rural areas. With the right training, individuals can create their own businesses, tapping into local resources and markets. For instance, rural entrepreneurs trained in food processing, handicrafts, or eco-tourism can create small enterprises that generate income, employment, and growth within their communities. This not only stimulates the local economy but also fosters self-reliance and innovation.Solution
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The NSDC acts as a catalyst in skill development by providing funding to various entities and is responsible for creating a vocational training framework. It does not directly conduct skill training programs.
