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.
