Question

SPREE 2025 (Scheme for Promotion of Registration of Employers and Employees) was launched by which organization?

• A. Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC)
• B. Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
• C. National Institution for Transforming India Aayog (NITI Aayog)
• D. Security Exchange Board of India (SEBI)

Hint:

Focus on the acronym: "Employers and Employees" registration is the core function of ESIC and EPFO. Since ESIC deals with health and social security registration, it is the logical answer for a registration-based promotion scheme.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Decode the acronym SPREE.
SPREE stands for Scheme for Promotion of Registration of Employers and Employees. It aims to bring informal and unorganized sector workers under a formal social security umbrella.
Step 2: Identify the launching organization.
ESIC (Employees' State Insurance Corporation) launched SPREE 2025. ESIC functions under the Ministry of Labour and Employment to provide health insurance and social security to workers.
Step 3: Eliminate the distractors.
RBI handles monetary policy, SEBI regulates securities markets, and NITI Aayog is a policy think-tank. Employee insurance registration is exclusively ESIC's domain.
