    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The scheme was transferred from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship in 2018. Hence, statement 1 is not correct. The objective of JSS is to provide vocational skills to non-literate, neo-literate, as well as school dropouts by identifying skills as per their needs and to provide vocational skills to literate persons who have missed opportunities for education and need skill development to improve their livelihood. Hence, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
