The correct answer is option 4, Swawlamban. This scheme is aimed to provide training and skills to women in traditional and non-traditional trades. It helps in the upliftment of women in the society by making them self-dependent through skill development and training.

Option 1, Kishori Shakti Yojna, is incorrect as it is an initiative aimed at improving the nutritional and health status of girls in the age group of 11-18 years. It also empowers adolescent girls by providing them with skills and knowledge.

Option 2, Rashtriya Mahila Kosh, is also incorrect. It is not a training scheme but an organization that lends micro-credit to poor women towards promotional and development activities.

Option 3, Swayamsiddha, is incorrect as well. It is a scheme aimed at the all-round development of women by promoting self-help groups. Although it does facilitate training for better productivity, it doesn`t specifically target traditional and non-traditional trades.
