The Central Cottage Industries Corporation of India Ltd (CCIC) works under which ministry?
- A.Ministry of Culture
- B.Ministry of Textiles
- C.Ministry of Tourism
- D.Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Textiles. CCIC is described as a Government of India enterprise under that ministry, and its work is to market the handloom and handicraft products of Indian artisans and weavers, giving them better access to buyers at home and abroad. Option A, the Ministry of Culture, looks after heritage, museums and the performing arts, which is close in subject matter but is not the parent ministry here. Option C, the Ministry of Tourism, promotes travel and is often associated with festivals of this kind, which makes it a tempting answer. Option D handles small enterprise policy and credit, and many craft units fall under it for support, but CCIC itself is not placed there. The reason the Textiles ministry holds it is simple: handloom and handicraft are textile sector subjects, and the corporation is a marketing arm for that sector.
