Q2Consider the following statements about the rice-wheat system of north-western India: 1. It is linked with high output, procurement and intensive irrigation. 2. Groundwater depletion, stubble burning and reduced crop diversity are among its weaknesses. 3. Announcement of minimum support prices for many crops ensures equal procurement of all those crops in every region. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A 1 only

B 1 and 2 only

C 2 and 3 only

D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The north-western rice-wheat system is productive but irrigation-intensive and carries groundwater, residue and diversity costs. Statement 3 is incorrect because procurement is concentrated in selected crops and regions; an MSP announcement is not the same as assured procurement everywhere.
