They conduct long-term and short-term technical training courses for skill development.
They are purely administrative offices and do not engage in any production activities.

✅ Correct Answer: B
Correct Option: B Concept: Functions of Technology Centres (Tool Rooms). Context: TCs are high-tech production and training facilities.
Statement 1 is Correct: Their industrial role is to design and manufacture high-precision dies, moulds, and tools.
Small units cannot afford the expensive machinery required for this, so TCs provide this service.
Statement 2 is Correct: They are major training hubs, offering practical courses in tool engineering, CAD/CAM, and CNC machining.
Statement 3 is Incorrect: They are not administrative; they are active production centers.
