Helpline “Udyami” is meant for:

The correct answer is A) Micro, small and medium enterprises. Udyami Helpline was set up by the Ministry of MSME as a toll-free support line for entrepreneurs in the MSME sector. It gives information on government schemes, registration, credit and other procedural queries, so it is a service for small businesses, not for large industry, women only, or farmers.

• B is wrong: Large industries are not the target group. Large capital-intensive units deal with their own ministries, investment routes and approvals, and the helpline is designed for small enterprises.
• C is wrong: Women entrepreneurs have their own schemes, such as Mahila Udyam and similar programmes, but Udyami is not a gender-specific helpline.
• D is wrong: Farmers using technology are served by agricultural channels such as the Kisan Call Centre under the Ministry of Agriculture.

The core concept is the institutional framework for MSMEs, which is a recurring theme in Indian economy and Mains GS-III questions on employment and inclusive growth. Check the current helpline details on official MSME portals before relying on them.

Trap: Aspirants pick C because many schemes in this area are women-focused. Ask which ministry runs the helpline and what its target group is.
