How many rural youth have been trained so far under DDU-GKY, as stated at the Jaipur meet?
- A.12.44 lakh
- B.18.49 lakh
- C.20.50 lakh
- D.1.83 lakh
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 18.49 lakh. That is the number of rural young people trained under the scheme to date, as disclosed at the Captive Employer CXO Meet held in Jaipur on 15 October 2026. The figure of 12.44 lakh is wrong for this question because it is the number of candidates who have been placed in jobs out of those trained, not the number trained. The figure of 20.50 lakh does not match anything stated about the scheme and is only a near-sounding distractor. The figure of 1.83 lakh is wrong because it is the national target of candidates fixed for the Captive Employment window of DDU-GKY 2.0, not the count already trained. Note also that implementing agencies must place at least 70 per cent of the candidates they train.
