BHARAT-TULIP, promoted at the Shilp Samagam Mela, stands for which programme?
- A.Traditional Artisans' Upliftment Livelihood Programme
- B.Tribal Urban Linkage and Investment Programme
- C.Textile Units and Local Industry Promotion
- D.Training for Urban Livelihoods in Production
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Traditional Artisans' Upliftment Livelihood Programme. It is an initiative of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment aimed at selling the goods made by artisans of the target groups, namely the Scheduled Castes, the Other Backward Classes, Safai Mitras and Denotified Tribes, through physical outlets as well as e-commerce platforms, so that a craftsperson reaches customers far beyond the fairground. Options B, C and D are invented expansions built from words that sound plausible for a livelihood scheme, but none of them matches the name used for this programme. A useful way to fix the full form in memory is to read the abbreviation backwards from its purpose: it exists to lift traditional artisans and to secure their livelihoods, which is exactly what the words stand for, and the fair at Guwahati is one of the places where it is put before the public.
