Which government initiative aims to empower women through skill development and providing support for entrepreneurship?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Mahila Shakti Kendra Scheme.

The Mahila Shakti Kendra (MSK) Scheme explicitly aims to empower rural women by providing them with opportunities for skill development, employment, and support for entrepreneurship.

While other schemes like Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) focus heavily on providing loans to micro-businesses, MSK is uniquely tailored to create a supportive environment that builds both social and economic empowerment for women at the grassroots level.
