According to the Union Budget 2023-24, how many Skill India International Centres are to be set up across different States to skill youth for international opportunities?

A 20
B 30
C 40
D 50

Correct answer: (b) 30

Explanation

  1. A

    20

    Option (a) claims that 20 Skill India International Centres are to be established across different States. However, this count is an underestimation of the target announced in the Union Budget 2023-24. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

  2. B

    30

    Option (b) states that 30 Skill India International Centres are to be set up across different States to skill youth for international opportunities. This figure directly corresponds to the specific financial and policy allocation laid out in the Union Budget 2023-24. Being the precise and officially verified target for expanding global mobility and skill development infrastructure, this option stands as the correct key.

  3. C

    40

    Option (c) suggests a target of 40 centres across various States. The Union Budget 2023-24 did not propose this specific number for the international skill hubs. Thus, this option is incorrect.

  4. D

    50

    Option (d) mentions 50 Skill India International Centres to be established. This number exceeds the actual budgetary provision outlined for the scheme in the fiscal year 2023-24. Consequently, this option is incorrect.

Summary. Official key is (b) according to the Union Budget 2023-24 allocations for youth skill development. The government announced the setting up of 30 Skill India International Centres across various States to prepare the domestic workforce for international opportunities. Aspirants often confuse such specific numeric targets with rounded figures like 20, 40, or 50. Careful reading of the budget announcements helps prevent errors in questions regarding specific infrastructural targets. Option (b) successfully captures the exact figure mandated by the policy.
