Q4Which one of the following correctly describes the institutional support and monitoring design of PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY)?

A Every district is linked only with a commercial bank, and no common monitoring dashboard is used.

B Every district is linked with an agricultural university, but district performance is deliberately kept unranked.

C District ranking is used, but NITI Aayog has no role in reviewing or guiding district plans.

D Every district is linked with an agricultural university; a monitoring dashboard and district ranking support performance review, while NITI Aayog provides strategic guidance.

The correct design combines local academic support with performance monitoring: each district is partnered with an agricultural university, a dashboard tracks progress, and district ranking encourages competitive performance. NITI Aayog reviews and guides district plans, so option D alone preserves every element.
