Select the correct answer using the above
  1. 1 only
  2. 2 and 3 only
  3. 1 and 2 only

Ans. A/C
Explanation:
The Ministry of Agriculture’s info on its website helps us deduce that statement 1 is definitely correct and statement 3 is wrong because the free kits includes only micronutrients, pesticides and fertilizers but it does not include micro irrigation. Statement 2 is quite ambiguous and makes it tough to come to a conclusion. So the answer could be either A or C
Why the question Came:
Promoting nutri-cereals in a malnourished country has been a focus area since the scheme was launched in 2011-12 to enhance India’s nutritional security.
