Q. With reference to “PM PRANAM scheme” consider the following statements:
1.The scheme will be launched to promote healthy living style by encouraging daily yoga and exercise.
2.The government will be setting up health clinics in every district in India to spread awareness and help people in tackling health related issues.
Which of the above statement/s is/are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation –
Statement 1 and 2 are incorrect. PM PRANAM scheme will be launched to check the excessive and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers as part of the government’s efforts to make farming more sustainable. As part of the scheme, if the promotion of organic farming by a state leads to a decline in the use of chemical fertilizers, then half the subsidy saved on that account will be transferred to the state.
