The National Handloom Development Corporation, highlighted for its work under Special Campaign 6, works under which ministry?
- A.Ministry of Textiles
- B.Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
- C.Ministry of Commerce and Industry
- D.Ministry of Rural Development
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Textiles. The ministry highlighted the contribution of the National Handloom Development Corporation Limited at Noida, whose offices held cleanliness drives, competitions and a tree plantation under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam between 2 and 23 October 2026. Option B is wrong because the ministry for micro, small and medium enterprises looks after small industry and not the handloom corporation. Option C is wrong because the commerce and industry ministry handles trade and industrial promotion, and the corporation does not report to it. Option D is wrong because rural development runs employment and rural livelihood programmes, which is a separate mandate. The link worth remembering is simple: handloom belongs to textiles, and the corporation supplies yarn and support to the handloom sector, which is why its campaign work was reported by that ministry.
