Q1Consider the following statements regarding the Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM): 1. SMAM was launched in 2007 as a central sector scheme. 2. Under SMAM, general-category farmers receive a 100% subsidy for individually owned machines. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are false. SMAM was launched in 2014-15, not 2007, and it is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (not a central sector scheme) implemented under RKVY. Also, general-category farmers get a 40% subsidy for individually owned machines via DBT, not 100%; subsidy up to 100% applies only to small machines in the NER.
