Which one among the following statements about the Districts as Export Hubs (DEH) in India is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Districts as Export Hubs (DEH) initiative was launched in August 2019 with the vision of transforming every district in India into an export powerhouse [1]. Statement 2 is incorrect because the initiative aims to foster balanced regional development across all districts of the country, not just selected ones [3]. Official records indicate that export potential has been identified in all 765 districts [3]. The Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2023 reiterated the role of DEH as a decentralized approach to reach a $2 trillion export target by 2030 . The initiative focuses on identifying potential products, addressing infrastructure and logistics bottlenecks, and providing institutional support through District Export Action Plans (DEAP) [2]. While it facilitates logistical and infrastructural support, it is primarily an initiative for decentralized export promotion rather than a direct financial assistance scheme [3].
