Skill Development Programme
Aam Admi Bima Yojna
Unorganised Workers' Social Security Act, 2008
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is (b), Skill Development Programme.
The other options are recent measures for social protection.
- The Rastriya Swasthya Bima Yojna (RSBY) is a health insurance scheme for the poor in India. It was launched in 2008 and provides coverage for hospitalization and other medical expenses.
- The Aam Admi Bima Yojna (AABY) is a life insurance scheme for the poor in India. It was launched in 2010 and provides coverage for death and disability due to accidents.
- The Unorganised Workers’ Social Security Act, 2008 is a law that provides social security benefits to unorganised workers in India. It covers a range of benefits, including old age pension, health insurance, and maternity benefits.
The Skill Development Programme is a government initiative to provide training to the youth in India. It was launched in 2015 and aims to train 500 million people by 2022. The programme is designed to help the youth acquire skills that are in demand in the job market.
While the Skill Development Programme is a laudable initiative, it is not a recent measure for social protection. It was launched in 2015, while the other options were launched in 2008 or earlier.
