Question 1473
Which of the following statements are correct in respect of ‘Namda Project’? 1. This project is a part of ‘Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana’. 2. Under this programme, 2200 candidates from Assam were trained. 3. The aim of this project is to preserve the endangered crafts of wool weaving. 4. This project works under a public-private partnership.
Answer
1, 3 and 4
Why?
The Correct answer is Option 2. Key Points The 'Namda Project' is a skill development initiative under the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) . It focuses on training artisans to preserve and promote traditional crafts. The 'Namda Project' is primarily associated with the traditional craft of wool weaving in regions like Kashmir, not Assam. The statement does not accurately reflect the target group of the program. The main objective of the 'Namda Project' is to revive and preserve the traditional woolen weaving craft known as 'Namda' in regions where it is an endangered art form, particularly in Kashmir. The project operates through a public-private partnership model to ensure effective implementation, market linkages, and support for artisans. Hence Correct answer is Option 2.
