Q1With reference to the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, consider the following statements. 1. Rainfed Area Development is one of its key climate-resilient agriculture interventions. 2. Per Drop More Crop is listed among its key interventions. 3. Soil Health Management is supported by the Soil Health Card Scheme. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because Rainfed Area Development is named as a key climate-resilient agriculture intervention under NMSA. Statement 2 is correct because Per Drop More Crop is also named. Statement 3 is correct because Soil Health Management is stated to be supported by the Soil Health Card Scheme. Combinations that omit any of these three miss part of the cited intervention set.
Q2Consider the following Assertion and Reason about the National Mission on Natural Farming. Assertion: The Union Cabinet approved the National Mission on Natural Farming on 25 November 2024 as a standalone Centrally Sponsored Scheme. Reason: The mission was placed under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare with a total outlay of Rs 2,481 crore. Select the correct answer.
The Assertion is true because the Union Cabinet approved the National Mission on Natural Farming on 25 November 2024 as a standalone Centrally Sponsored Scheme. The Reason is also true because the mission was under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare with a total outlay of Rs 2,481 crore. However, the ministry and outlay identify the administrative placement and funding; they do not explain why the Cabinet approval occurred.
Q3As reported by PIB in May 2026, soil fertility mapping under the identified model-village exercise had been undertaken and completed in how many model villages respectively?
The PIB fact states that soil fertility mapping had been undertaken in 6,954 identified model villages and completed in 2,023 model villages by May 2026. The 3,010-completion figure is not the cited completion count, reversing 2,023 and 6,954 changes the meaning of undertaken versus completed, and 6,514 is a close but wrong undertaken count.
Q4With reference to the National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture, consider the following statements: 1. Its alignment with SDG 2 is through sustainable food production. 2. Its alignment with SDG 6 is through water-use efficiency. 3. Its alignment with SDG 13 is through climate-resilient cropping systems. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because the mission is aligned with SDG 2 through sustainable food production. Statement 2 is correct because SDG 6 is linked to water-use efficiency. Statement 3 is correct because SDG 13 is linked to climate-resilient cropping systems. Combinations that omit any one of these statements leave out a part of the cited alignment.
Q5Consider the following Assertion and Reason about Rainfed Area Development. Assertion: Since 2014-15, Rainfed Area Development has received Rs 2,119.84 crore, covered 8.50 lakh hectares, and benefited 14.35 lakh farmers. Reason: These figures are linked to Integrated Farming System interventions. Choose the correct answer.
The Assertion is true because the sourced fact gives the exact outlay of Rs 2,119.84 crore, coverage of 8.50 lakh hectares, and 14.35 lakh beneficiary farmers since 2014-15. The Reason is also true because the fact ties these results to Integrated Farming System interventions. However, the Reason states the intervention channel; it does not explain why that exact funding amount, area coverage, and farmer count occurred. Claims that the Reason is false or that the Assertion is false contradict the cited figures.
