Which platform mentioned alongside the Shilp Samagam Mela links artisans with e-commerce opportunities?
- A.Bharat TULIP
- B.Purple Fest
- C.GeM Sahay
- D.Shilp Setu
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bharat TULIP, the platform named for connecting artisans with e-commerce opportunities and so widening their market access beyond the fair ground. Option B, Purple Fest, is also mentioned by the ministry, but its purpose is different: it celebrates the creativity and capabilities of persons with disabilities and encourages inclusion and equal opportunity. Option C, GeM Sahay, and option D, Shilp Setu, were not named in this context. Both Bharat TULIP and Purple Fest sit alongside the Shilp Samagam Mela 2026 at Dilli Haat, INA, New Delhi, where four corporations of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment recorded sales of about Rs 73.49 lakh in the first ten days of November. The ministry also meets artisans' travel, stall and transport costs so that financial and logistical barriers do not keep them out.
