The 'Stand up India Scheme' and 'Make in India' are programmes aimed at:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → self employment of the marginalized sections
-
Stand Up India Scheme: Aims to promote entrepreneurship among SCs, STs, and women by facilitating bank loans between ₹10 lakh and ₹1 crore for starting new enterprises (not given in NCERT).
-
Make in India: Seeks to encourage manufacturing and entrepreneurship within India by attracting investments and boosting domestic production. It indirectly supports self-employment through job creation and support for start-ups.
"Recently the Government of India floated many schemes, such as ‘MUDRA’, ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ in order to generate employment and self-employment to support all sections including the marginalised section of the society, like SC, ST and other backward classes."
Note: there is an ambiguity in question because it combines two schemes with slightly different target groups and objectives. But among the given options,"self-employment of the marginalized sections” is the most accurate and encompassing answer, especially because Stand Up India is directly aligned with this, and Make in India supports it indirectly."
