Since which year has the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment been organising Shilp Samagam Melas?
- A.2015
- B.2019
- C.2022
- D.2024
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2022. The Ministry has been holding these fairs since that year, and 13 of them have taken place so far, carrying the goods of 975 artisans to buyers. The Mysuru fair that ended on 20 October 2026 was the first of the series in the financial year 2026-27, and further editions are planned at Guwahati, Dilli Haat in New Delhi, Jodhpur and Lucknow. Options A, B and D name years in which the series had not begun, so none of them matches the record given for the programme. Keep the three figures together, because a question may ask for any one of them: the start year 2022, the count of fairs at 13, and the number of artisans helped at 975. Also remember the organiser and its three corporations, the NSFDC, the NBCFDC and the NSKFDC.
