Which ministry organises the Shilp Samagam Mela held at Dilli Haat?
- A.Ministry of Textiles
- B.Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment
- C.Ministry of Culture
- D.Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment. The fair is its own initiative, meant to open markets for artisans and beneficiaries from the Scheduled Castes, the Other Backward Classes, Safai Karamchari communities and persons with disabilities, and the four corporations whose sales are reported all fall under that ministry. Option A is wrong because, although handloom and textile products are on sale, the fair is not a textiles ministry event. Option C is wrong because the cultural performances at the fair are a feature of it rather than its purpose, which is livelihood and market access. Option D is wrong because the enterprise ministry runs its own procurement and credit programmes for small units but has no role in this particular mela. The giveaway is the set of beneficiary groups named, all of them social justice categories.
