Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3): (B), (C) and (D) only
-
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) is a crop insurance scheme specific to farmers, protecting them from losses due to natural calamities.
-
MUDRA provides microloans to small businesses, entrepreneurs, and artisans, but it is not targeted specifically at farmers.
-
National Urban Mission focuses on infrastructure and development in urban areas and has no direct benefit for farmers.
-
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) provides guaranteed rural employment, including farm laborers, so it indirectly benefits farmers and rural households. However, it is not exclusively for farmers.
Note: This question originally had multiple answers treated as correct by NTA. Therefore, the question has been slightly modified so that only one correct answer remains, for the benefit of the students and to avoid ambiguity.
