Explanation

Udaan trained 6.0 thousand volunteers in 2021. The total budget is 12.96 crore (129,600,000) and stipend is 18,000 per volunteer, so number of volunteers = 129,600,000 / 18,000 = 7,200 (7.2 thousand). Increase = 7.2 - 6.0 = 1.2. Percentage increase = (1.2 / 6.0) * 100 = 20%.

AI explanation

Using the formula for the number of items (Total Budget / Per Unit Cost), calculate the number of volunteers Udaan trained in 2022 as 12,96,00,000 / 18,000 = 7200. According to the table, Udaan trained 6000 volunteers in 2021. The percentage increase is calculated as ((7200 - 6000) / 6000) * 100, which equals 20%. The result is 20%.
