Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

The "Swavalambini" programme is a women entrepreneurship initiative specifically designed for the North-East region. It was launched in February 2025 by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) in collaboration with NITI Aayog. The primary objective of the programme is to empower female students in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across North-Eastern states like Assam, Meghalaya, and Mizoram by fostering an entrepreneurial mindset.

  • The initiative provides a structured pathway including Entrepreneurship Awareness Programmes (EAP), intensive training (EDP), mentorship, and funding support.
  • It is implemented through the Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship (IIE), Guwahati, and NIESBUD.
  • While the Ministry of MSME and the Ministry of Women and Child Development manage other women-centric schemes, they are not the launching bodies for this specific North-East focused "Swavalambini" programme.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
