Explanation

The Nandini Sahakar Scheme is a women-focused framework launched by the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC) under the Ministry of Cooperation [1]. Statement 1 is correct as the scheme is specifically designed to assist women cooperatives in taking up business model-based activities across any sector mandated to the NCDC, excluding urban housing. It provides a comprehensive support system including project formulation, hand-holding, and capacity development [2]. Statement 2 is also correct because the scheme's guidelines explicitly state that there is no minimum or maximum limit on the financial assistance provided to projects by women cooperatives [2]. Eligible entities include cooperatives registered under State or Central Acts or those with at least 50% women as primary members. The scheme aligns with Atmanirbhar Bharat objectives to enhance the socio-economic status of women through entrepreneurial dynamism [2].
