BHARAT TULIP, launched by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, stands for which programme?
- A.Traditional Artisans’ Upliftment Livelihood Programme
- B.Tribal Upliftment and Local Industry Promotion
- C.Textile Units for Livelihood Improvement Programme
- D.Traditional Utility and Local Investment Plan
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Traditional Artisans’ Upliftment Livelihood Programme. BHARAT TULIP is the brand under which the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment offers goods made by its target groups on digital platforms in India and abroad, so that a craft worker reaches buyers far beyond a fairground. The aim stated for it is to strengthen artisans’ livelihoods while keeping traditional art forms alive. Options B, C and D expand the acronym wrongly. The Ministry’s target groups here are the Scheduled Castes, the Other Backward Classes and Safai Karamcharis, served by the NSFDC, the NBCFDC and the NSKFDC, so a tribal-specific or textile-specific reading of the name does not fit the Ministry’s mandate. For the examination, pair the brand name with its full form and with the Shilp Samagam Mela, the physical fair that works towards the same end.
