Practice questions

Q1Which one of the following agricultural sectors is covered under the Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) of the Government of India?

A Horticulture

B Forestry

C Irrigation

D Animal Husbandry

Explanation

The Market Intervention Scheme is used mainly for perishable agricultural and horticultural commodities when prices fall sharply and growers need support. Horticulture therefore fits the scheme’s coverage. Forestry is not the target sector for this price-support mechanism. Irrigation is an agricultural input and infrastructure area, not a commodity sector under MIS. Animal husbandry has its own policy and market-support concerns, but it is not the sector identified by this scheme in the question.
