What does PM-SETU stand for?
- A.Pradhan Mantri Skill Education and Technical Upgradation
- B.Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs
- C.Pradhan Mantri Students Employment and Training Union
- D.Pradhan Mantri Skill Enhancement for Tribal Upliftment
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs. The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship used this expansion while describing the Guwahati programme, where a dedicated session was held on how the scheme can strengthen the skilling ecosystem of the North-Eastern Region through an industry-led remaking of Industrial Training Institutes. The Minister of State said the scheme is meant to bring industry closer to training so that these institutes grow into modern, demand-driven bodies able to prepare young people for emerging work. Options A, C and D are wrong because none of them is the expansion the Ministry used; they only resemble it in shape. Candidates should also note that the scheme works through upgraded Industrial Training Institutes rather than through schools or colleges, which is the detail these distractors blur.
