Consider the following in respect of 'National Career Service': 1. National Career Service is an initiative of the Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India. 2. National Career Service has been launched in a Mission Mode to improve the employment opportunities to uneducated youth of the country. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
A
1 only
B
2 only
C
Both 1 and 2
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Correct answer
Explanation
Option (d) is correct because the National Career Service (NCS) is an initiative of the Ministry of Labour and Employment (not DoPT) and serves a broad spectrum of job seekers, including the educated and highly skilled, rather than focusing specifically on "uneducated youth." Statement 2 is a common trap because while NCS is indeed a Mission Mode project, the restrictive phrasing regarding the target demographic makes it factually inaccurate. The core concept being tested is the identification of nodal ministries and the specific scope/objectives of flagship government schemes.
