II. Quality assurance of skill development programmes is one of the result areas of this scheme.

III. Inclusion of the marginalized population is not an objective of this scheme.

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

SANKALP (Skills Acquisition and Knowledge Awareness for Livelihood Promotion) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), launched in 2018 with loan assistance from the World Bank. Therefore, statement I is correct.

The scheme focuses on four key result areas: (i) Institutional Strengthening at Central, State, and District levels; (ii) Quality Assurance of skill development programmes; (iii) Inclusion of marginalized populations (SC/ST, women, and PwD); and (iv) Expanding skills through Public-Private Partnerships. Thus, statement II is correct.

Statement III is incorrect because the inclusion of marginalized populations is a primary objective of the scheme to ensure equitable access to skill training. Since statements I and II are correct, the correct option is B.
