- B.Tribal Udyog Livelihood Investment Programme
- C.Textile Upgradation and Local Industry Promotion
- D.Training for Urban Livelihoods and Industrial Production
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Traditional Artisans' Upliftment Livelihood Programme. BHARAT-TULIP is the programme through which the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment helps artisans of its target groups sell their products, both at physical outlets and on e-commerce platforms, so that a craftsperson is not limited to buyers who walk into a fairground. Options B, C and D are invented expansions built from words that sound plausible for a craft or industry scheme, and none of them is the official full form. Marking the right expansion matters because examiners often test only the acronym. At the Guwahati mela the programme was presented alongside the schemes of the ministry's three corporations, with LED screens in a dedicated pavilion playing information on welfare and credit support through the day.
