Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct initiatives:
Provision for correspondence courses — to widen access to technical education for students unable to attend full-time programs.
Establishment of additional colleges including regional engineering colleges — to increase capacity and regional availability of engineering and technical education.
Appointment of a working group on technical education — to review needs, plan expansion, and improve the quality of technical education.
Why the other statements are incorrect:
Removal of the diploma course system — not an initiative; diploma and certificate-level training were maintained and often expanded to meet industrial needs.
Less emphasis on trained manpower — incorrect; the plan emphasized development of trained manpower to support industrial and economic goals.
