Which of the following is NOT among the broad objectives of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Creating mass awareness through social media
Option (1) Promote integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use — An objective (Incorrect). When the source and the channels that carry water are planned together, water reaches the field with less waste. The same water then irrigates more land.
Option (2) Introduce sustainable water conservation practices — An objective (Incorrect). Conserving water keeps the sources from running dry, so the farms can be irrigated year after year.
Option (3) Creating mass awareness through social media — Not an objective (Correct). Every objective of the scheme acts on the water itself: bringing it to the farm, using it efficiently and conserving it, for protective irrigation of every farm. A social media campaign only spreads a message; it brings no water to any field, so it does nothing for the scheme’s aim of water on every farm.
Option (4) Har khet ko pani — An objective (Incorrect). ‘Water to every field’ means better physical access to water on the farm and a larger area under assured irrigation, so farming depends less on rain alone.
