Correct option is C
. The correct answer is (C) a–3, b–1, c–4, d–2
Explanation:
Almora (a–3): Under the ODTP scheme, Almora is recognized for its traditional Tweed (woolen handloom) and the famous Bal Mithai (a brown chocolate-like fudge made from roasted khoya and coated with white sugar balls).
Bageshwar (b–1): This district is identified for its historical Copper ware (Tamra Shilp) and Manduwa biscuits (made from finger millet), promoting local metallurgy and organic produce.
Haridwar (c–4): Being an agricultural hub in the plains, Haridwar focuses on Jaggery (Gur) and Honey production to boost the income of local farmers and beekeepers.
Nainital (d–2): The lake district is promoted for its unique Aipan Craft (traditional ritualistic folk art) and its long-standing cottage industry of Candle-making.
Information Booster:
The 'One District-Two Product' (ODTP) scheme was launched by the Uttarakhand government (inspired by the national ODOP initiative) to revive local crafts, provide self-employment, and prevent migration from hilly areas.
The scheme identifies two specific products from each of the 13 districts of Uttarakhand to be developed, branded, and marketed globally.
Additional Knowledge:
a–1, b–2, c–3, d–4 (Option A): * This is incorrect as it mismatches Almora with Copper ware (which belongs to Bageshwar) and Haridwar with Tweed.
a–3, b–1, c–2, d–4 (Option B): * While it correctly matches Almora and Bageshwar, it incorrectly identifies Haridwar with Aipan/Candles (which belongs to Nainital).
a–4, b–3, c–2, d–1 (Option D): * This sequence is entirely reversed or misplaced; Almora is not primarily focused on Jaggery under this specific scheme, and Nainital is not the lead for Copper ware.
