Q. With reference to the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) Scheme, consider the following statements:
Statement I: The KCC scheme provides adequate and timely credit support to farmers for their short-term and medium-term credit needs.
Statement II: A special drive has been launched to provide KCC to dairy farmers, even if they don’t own land.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?

[A] Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I.

[B] Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I.

[C] Statement I is correct but Statement II is not correct.

[D] Statement I is not correct but Statement II is correct.

Answer: B
Notes:

Explanation:

The KCC scheme’s core objective is to provide timely credit for various agricultural needs, including short-term requirements (Statement I). Special drive has been launched to provide KCC to dairy farmers, including those who are landless, which is a specific initiative under the broader scheme (Statement II). However, the second statement is an example of an initiative under the scheme, not a direct explanation of the scheme’s overall purpose. Therefore, Statement II does not explain Statement I.
