With reference to the Skill India Campaign, which of the following statement(s) is fare correct? 1) Prime Minister had launched the Skill India Campaign in July 2015 2) The main objective of this Campaign was to train India's Youths in information technology. Select the correct answer from the codes given below.

Statement 1 is correct. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Skill India Campaign on 15 July 2015, the day now observed as World Youth Skill Day. The campaign sits under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and its flagship scheme, the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY), was rolled out the same year.

Statement 2 is wrong. The campaign aimed to skill a large number of young Indians across many sectors, including construction, retail, healthcare, automobiles, hospitality and electronics, so that they could find jobs or start enterprises. Information technology was only one of those sectors, not the main objective.

• Core concept: Skill India is a demand-led, employability-focused mission, linked to the National Skill Development Mission and the National Skill Development Corporation.
• Mains angle: India's demographic dividend depends on closing the gap between education and employability, so expect questions on skilling, apprenticeship and industry linkage.

Trap: Candidates see the word 'Skill' with a digital-sounding name such as Digital India and assume the campaign is IT-specific. Read the statement for the scope, not just the name.
