Q1With reference to PM-KISAN, consider the following statements: Statement-I: It became operational from 1 December 2018 and was formally launched on 24 February 2019, providing ₹6,000 per year in three instalments to eligible landholding farmer families. Statement-II: Although it is a fully Union-funded Central Sector Scheme, States identify eligible farmer families using land records and exclusion criteria. Which one of the following is correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A Only Statement-I is correct
B Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct
C Only Statement-II is correct
D Neither Statement-I nor Statement-II is correct

Both statements are correct. PM-KISAN's operational date, formal launch date and annual three-instalment support are distinct facts. Its Union funding does not remove the States' role in beneficiary identification through land records and exclusion criteria.
