Step 1: Understanding the Question:
• The question asks what kind of initiative SAKSHAM is.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
• SAKSHAM is a scholarship scheme run by AICTE (Ministry of Education) to encourage and support differently-abled (specially-abled) students to pursue technical education at degree and diploma level.
• It is therefore not a general merit-based financial assistance scheme, not a North-East exchange programme, and not a vocational-academic mobility initiative.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct option is (B) Scholarship Scheme for Differently-Abled students.
