Statement 4 is incorrect — PM-KISAN is a Central Sector Scheme (fully funded by the Centre), not a Centrally Sponsored Scheme. Hence only 1, 2 and 3 are correct.

Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan, approved the recommendations of the expert committee constituted by the Department of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare.

Statement 3 is wrong — reporting window is 72 hours (not 24). Statement 4 is wrong — rollout is from Kharif 2026 (not Rabi 2025). Hence only 1 and 2 are correct.
