Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 reproduce the mission's budget announcement: it sought to promote bajra, jowar and other coarse cereals, with ₹100 crore to benefit about 15 lakh farmers. Statement 3 reverses its institutional character; the mission is funded by Rajasthan and administered by the state's Agriculture Department.
Q2Which department is the nodal authority for the Rajasthan Millets Promotion Mission?
The Rajasthan Millets Promotion Mission is a state-funded mission administered by the Agriculture Department, Government of Rajasthan. Its delivery through district agriculture machinery and the RajKisan portal further confirms the department's nodal role; it is not a central ministry's scheme.
