Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B, D

Step 1: Frame the survey context.
The Economic Survey 2024-25 talks about skilling, internships and inclusive training schemes in India.

Step 2: Check option A.
The survey notes a clear rise in the share of skilled people across social groups between 2018-19 and 2023-24. So A is correct.

Step 3: Check option B.
The 2024-25 Budget did announce the PM Internship Scheme to boost work experience for youth. So B is correct.

Step 4: Check options C and D.
In the Jan Shikshan Sansthan Scheme women are the majority of beneficiaries. So saying most are male is wrong, which knocks out C, while D, saying most are female, is correct.

Step 5: Conclude.
\[ \boxed{(A),\ (B)\text{ and }(D)} \]
