The correct answer is: Enhance employability of youth.
The Skill Saathi Yojana is a government scheme launched in Chhattisgarh in 2017 to provide skill training to youth and enhance their employability. The scheme aims to provide training in various sectors such as IT, hospitality, manufacturing, and agriculture. The training is provided through a network of training institutes and centers across the state. The scheme also provides financial assistance to the trainees to cover the cost of training and living expenses.
The Skill Saathi Yojana is a part of the government’s efforts to promote skill development and employment generation in the country. The scheme is expected to benefit over 1 lakh youth in Chhattisgarh.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Promote entrepreneurship: The Skill Saathi Yojana does not specifically aim to promote entrepreneurship. However, the training provided under the scheme may help some trainees to start their own businesses.
- Provide vocational training: The Skill Saathi Yojana provides skill training, which is different from vocational training. Vocational training is more focused on specific trades or occupations, while skill training is more general and can be applied to a wider range of jobs.
- Upgrade ITIs: The Skill Saathi Yojana does not specifically aim to upgrade ITIs. However, the training provided under the scheme may be useful for students who are enrolled in ITIs.
