Mukhyamantri Beej Swavalamban Yojana MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Statement 1 reproduces the scheme's stated purpose: farmers are enabled to produce quality seeds on their own fields for their own use. Statement 2 is also correct because the 2017 pilot in three zones was expanded from 2018-19 to all 10 agro-climatic zones of Rajasthan. Therefore, both statements are correct.

The scheme began in 2017 as a pilot in exactly three agro-climatic zones: Kota, Bhilwara and Udaipur. It was subsequently extended from 2018-19 to all 10 agro-climatic zones of Rajasthan, so option A correctly identifies the original pilot geography.

The Economic Review 2025-26 records that about 1.12 lakh quintals of seed were distributed in the Kharif and Rabi seasons against a target of 1.13 lakh quintals. It also records distribution of 31.50 lakh seed mini-kits free of cost. Thus both parts of option B are correct.

Seed production under the scheme takes up notified varieties that are up to 10 years old. Separately, free seed mini-kits are distributed so that newly released crop varieties become familiar and widely used among farmers. Option A alone joins these two distinct provisions accurately; the other choices alter both the age rule and the purpose of mini-kits.

Statements 1 and 2 correctly trace the scheme from its 2017 three-zone pilot to implementation in all 10 zones from 2018-19. Statement 3 also matches the 2025-26 record of about 1.12 lakh quintals distributed against a 1.13 lakh target. Statement 4 is false because the free mini-kit total was 31.50 lakh. Hence exactly three statements are correct.
