Explanation
Correct Answer is C: A Scheme Under The Ministry Of Tribal Affairs Aimed At Improving Standard Of Life Of Tribals
The Van Dhan Scheme is a scheme initiated by the Government of India under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. The primary objective of the scheme is to improve the standard of living of tribal communities in the country.
The Van Dhan Scheme focuses on promoting entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihoods through the utilization of traditional knowledge and forest resources. The scheme provides a platform for tribal entrepreneurs to market their forest produce through the establishment of Van Dhan Kendras (VDKs) across the country.
The VDKs provide the necessary infrastructure and equipment for the value addition and packaging of forest products. The scheme aims to provide training and capacity building to tribal communities on sustainable harvesting practices, value addition, and entrepreneurship.
The Van Dhan Scheme is based on the concept of Minimum Support Price (MSP) for forest products collected by tribal communities. The scheme is expected to benefit around 10 million tribal entrepreneurs across the country and help in the development of tribal communities. The scheme has the potential to generate employment and enhance the income of tribal communities, thereby uplifting their standard of living.
