Question:

Options:

Stand Up India Scheme

Ujjwala scheme

AVSAR Scheme of Airport Authority of India

KUSUM scheme

Correct Answer:

AVSAR Scheme of Airport Authority of India

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - AVSAR Scheme of Airport Authority of India

The "UMEED Market Place" in Jammu and Kashmir was inaugurated by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha under the AVSAR Scheme of Airport Authority of India (AAI).

  • AVSAR (Alliance for Viability and Socio-Economic Upliftment) is a scheme launched by the AAI to promote the economic empowerment of local communities through various initiatives at airports.
  • One of the components of the AVSAR scheme involves providing space for local artisans and self-help groups to showcase and sell their products at airports.
  • The UMEED Market Place aligns with this objective by offering stalls and counters to members of Self Help Groups (SHGs) from the J&K Rural Livelihood Mission.
  • The other options listed (Stand Up India Scheme, Ujjwala Scheme, and KUSUM Scheme) are unrelated to the UMEED Market Place initiative or the AVSAR Scheme.
