Q2Which one of the following correctly describes the Integrated Programme for the Textile Sector announced in Union Budget 2026-27?

A A Central Sector umbrella programme covering the textile value chain
B A household cash-transfer scheme for registered weavers
C A Rajasthan-only programme for powerloom clusters
D An export subsidy limited to technical textiles
Explanation

The programme is a Central Sector umbrella budget initiative of the Ministry of Textiles. It brings the full textile value chain—from fibre availability and cluster modernisation to artisan support, sustainable manufacturing and skilling—within one integrated framework; it is not a household cash-transfer scheme.

Q3Which sub-component of the Integrated Programme for the Textile Sector is designed to modernise the textile skill ecosystem through deeper industry-academia collaboration?

A National Fibre Scheme
B Tex-Eco Initiative
C Samarth 2.0
D National Handloom and Handicraft Programme
Explanation

Samarth 2.0 is the programme's dedicated skilling component. It upgrades the textile skill ecosystem through deeper collaboration between industry and academic institutions so that industry-ready skilled manpower is available across the value chain. The other components address fibres, sustainability or the handmade sector.

Q4Which one of the following pairs is incorrectly matched?

A National Fibre Scheme — self-reliance across natural, man-made and new-age fibres
B Textile Expansion and Employment Scheme — machinery support and common testing centres for traditional clusters
C Tex-Eco Initiative — environmentally sustainable manufacturing aligned with international standards
D Samarth 2.0 — mandatory receivables settlement for public-sector purchases from small enterprises
Explanation

Pair D is incorrect. Samarth 2.0 is the skilling component and works through deeper industry-academia collaboration to provide industry-ready manpower. Mandatory receivables settlement for public-sector purchases from small enterprises belongs to the separate Trade Receivables Discounting System-related liquidity measures, not to Samarth 2.0.

A 1 only

C 2 only
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Both statements are correct. The National Fibre Scheme covers natural fibres such as silk, wool and jute, along with man-made and new-age fibres, to strengthen domestic availability and reduce imports. Tex-Eco separately advances environmentally sustainable manufacturing and alignment with international sustainability standards.
