- B.Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana 2.0
- C.Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Urban Livelihoods Mission
- D.Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana 2.0. The Captive Employer CXO Meet at the Rajasthan International Centre in Jaipur was held by the Ministry of Rural Development along with the Rajasthan Skill and Livelihoods Development Corporation, and its subject was the Captive Employment window of DDU-GKY 2.0. Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana is wrong because it is a skilling scheme of a different ministry and was not the subject of this gathering. The urban livelihoods mission is wrong because it works on livelihoods in towns and cities, whereas this scheme trains rural youth. The rural employment guarantee law is wrong because it assures days of wage work in villages and does not place trained candidates with captive employers. At the meet it was stated that 18.49 lakh rural youth have been trained and 12.44 lakh of them placed.
