Cevap

The statement specifying that eligible youth aged 18 to 29 years receive industry-aligned skill training alongside a graded monthly stipend ranging from ₹8,000 to ₹10,000 based on their educational attainment is correct.
The correct option accurately outlines the operational and financial design of the 'Mukhyamantri Sikho-Kamao Yojana'.

Beneficiaries receive a direct monthly stipend graduated by qualification: ₹8,000 for Class 12 pass-outs, ₹8,500 for ITI certificate holders, ₹9,000 for polytechnic diploma holders, and ₹10,000 for graduates/postgraduates.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Identify the core objective and target demographic of the Mukhyamantri Sikho-Kamao Yojana (MMSKY).
MMSKY is a flagship youth empowerment initiative by Madhya Pradesh targeting local youth aged 18 to 29 years who have completed Class 12, ITI, Diploma, or Higher Education.

Verifying the graded financial assistance differentiates MMSKY from flat unemployment allowances.
