C 26 January 2016 — Republic Day

Explanation

The Skill India Mission was formally launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 15 July 2015. The date was significant because it was the first World Youth Skills Day, making option A the only pair with both the correct date and occasion.

Explanation

The restructured Skill India Programme combines PMKVY 4.0, PM-NAPS and JSS as three components of one Central Sector Scheme. PM-SETU concerns ITI modernisation and remains a separate centrally sponsored reform, so option B is correct.

PM-SETU has a total outlay of ₹60,000 crore and targets the modernisation of 1,000 government ITIs through a hub-and-spoke model. That total consists of 200 hub ITIs linked with 800 spoke ITIs; hence (a)-1, (b)-2, (c)-3 and (d)-4.
