The correct answer is D) It relies entirely on skill training by Government agencies. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) is a placement-linked skill development program for rural youth. While statements A, B, and C are correct objectives of the scheme, statement D is incorrect as the scheme primarily relies on private and non-governmental training partners, not solely government agencies, for providing skill training.

DDU-GKY is a market-driven, outcome-oriented skill training program implemented through Training Partners (TPs) which are typically private institutions or NGOs, not exclusively government agencies.

DDU-GKY is part of the National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM). It aims to train rural youth between 15 and 35 years of age from poor families and provide them with wage employment. The program emphasizes minimum placement rates for trained candidates.
