How many artisans have benefited from the Shilp Samagam Melas held since 2022?
- A.575
- B.775
- C.875
- D.975
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 975 artisans, who have taken part across the thirteen fairs organised since the Ministry began the series. The other options are close figures meant to catch a half remembered number. Two facts should be linked here: the count of fairs and the count of artisans who gained from them, because an examiner may ask for either. The support offered explains why artisans travel to these fairs at all. Each participating artisan is given a stall free of cost along with assistance towards travel expenses, a daily allowance, the transport of goods and meals, in keeping with the arrangements that apply. The fairs give craftspeople from the Scheduled Castes, the Other Backward Classes and the Safai Karamcharis a direct market, so that they can meet customers, widen their base and improve the reach of their small enterprises.
