Correct Answer: Improve post-harvest infrastructure and value addition in agriculture


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Improve post-harvest infrastructure and value addition in agriculture.

The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) is a government scheme in India that aims to boost the processing and preservation capabilities of agricultural products. The primary objective of PMKSY is to modernize and strengthen the post-harvest infrastructure in order to minimize wastage, enhance value addition, and increase the income of farmers.

Under the PMKSY, various components and sub-schemes are implemented to address different aspects of the agricultural value chain. These include the creation of modern processing and preservation facilities, setting up of cold chains and integrated value chains, improving packaging and marketing infrastructure, and promoting food processing industries.

Overall, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana aims to transform the agriculture and allied sectors by ensuring better post-harvest management, reducing wastage, increasing value addition, and facilitating the efficient utilization of agricultural produce.
