Q. In the light of India's agricultural policies, consider the following statements: - PM-KISAN scheme was launched to support tenant farmers exclusively.
- Minimum Support Price (MSP) is fixed annually for 22 agricultural crops based on CACP recommendations.
- Digital Agriculture Mission (DAM) aims to create a robust digital ecosystem for farmers.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Answer:
Only two
Notes: - PM-KISAN scheme was launched to support tenant farmers exclusively: This is incorrect. PM-KISAN primarily supports land-holding farmers, not tenant farmers.
- Minimum Support Price (MSP) is fixed annually for 22 agricultural crops based on CACP recommendations: This is correct. MSP is reviewed and set based on comprehensive cost analysis.
- Digital Agriculture Mission (DAM) aims to create a robust digital ecosystem for farmers: This is correct. DAM focuses on farmer-centric digital solutions and timely crop information.
Thus, two statements are correct.
