Q101. Under SMAM, what percentage grant is provided to FPOs for Kisan Drone demonstrations?

  1. (a) 40%
  2. (b) 50%
  3. (c) 75%
  4. (d) 100%
Answer & solution

Answer: (c) 75%

Correct Answer: Option 3 – 75%
Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) is a centrally sponsored scheme by the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare to increase farm mechanization in India. Under SMAM's Kisan Drone promotion component, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are provided a 75% grant/subsidy for purchasing and demonstrating Kisan Drones (agricultural drones for crop protection, spraying, and monitoring). FPOs receive higher subsidies than individual farmers to enable wider demonstration and adoption.
Option 1 (40%): Individual SC/ST farmers and women farmers receive 50% subsidy; 40% is not a standard SMAM Kisan Drone rate.
Option 2 (50%): Individual farmers from other categories may receive up to 50% subsidy; FPOs receive the higher 75% rate.
Option 4 (100%): 100% grant is provided to Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and ICAR institutes for demonstration purposes; FPOs receive 75%.
SSC Selection Post 2025 (Phase XIII) – 29 August 2025 Shift 2 · Land reforms

Q102. The primary objective of land reforms implemented in India after independence was to:

  1. (a) Promote large-scale commercial farming.
  2. (b) Consolidate land holdings for increased efficiency.
  3. (c) Reduce inequalities in land ownership and abolish intermediaries.
  4. (d) Encourage the cultivation of cash crops for export.
Answer & solution

Answer: (c) Reduce inequalities in land ownership and abolish intermediaries.

Correct Answer: Option 3 – Reduce inequalities in land ownership and abolish intermediaries
Post-independence land reforms in India aimed primarily at: (a) Abolition of zamindari/intermediary systems (Zamindari Abolition Acts, 1950s) — removing exploitative landlords between the state and actual cultivators; (b) Land ceiling laws — limiting maximum landholding size and redistributing surplus land to landless poor; (c) Tenancy reforms — giving security of tenure and regulating rents; (d) Consolidation of fragmented holdings. The overarching goal was social justice and reducing agrarian inequality.
Option 1 (Large-scale commercial farming): Indian land reforms focused on small peasant ownership, not consolidating into large commercial farms.
Option 2 (Consolidate for efficiency): Consolidation of fragmented holdings was a minor component; the primary goal was equity, not efficiency.
Option 4 (Cash crops for export): Export-oriented cash crop cultivation was not the objective of land reforms; food security and equity were.

Q120. What is the aim of launching the 'One Nation, One Ration Card' scheme?

  1. (a) Unifying the voter list across states
  2. (b) Providing universal access to subsidized foodgrains
  3. (c) Creating a uniform syllabus for schools
  4. (d) Providing a single tax system across India
Answer & solution

Answer: (b) Providing universal access to subsidized foodgrains

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Providing universal access to subsidized foodgrains
The 'One Nation, One Ration Card' (ONORC) scheme, launched in 2019 under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), aims to enable any beneficiary to access their entitled subsidized foodgrains (rice/wheat) from any Fair Price Shop (FPS) anywhere in India — regardless of the state where the ration card was issued. This portability is especially beneficial for migrant workers who move to different states for work. The scheme uses Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication and an electronic Point of Sale ( ePoS ) system at FPS shops. By 2022, all states and UTs had implemented ONORC.
Option 1 (Unifying voter list): The voter list/electoral roll is managed by the Election Commission of India — a completely separate system from ration cards.
Option 3 (Uniform syllabus): Education policy (NEP 2020) deals with curriculum — unrelated to ration card portability.
Option 4 (Single tax system): GST (Goods and Services Tax, 2017) unified India's indirect tax system — unrelated to ONORC.
SSC Selection Post 2025 (Phase XIII) – 31 July 2025 Shift 3 · Crop insurance and farmer schemes

Q121. Which government scheme aims to provide insurance coverage for crop losses due to natural calamities and pests?

  1. (a) National Food Security Mission (NFSM)
  2. (b) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY)
  3. (c) Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)
  4. (d) Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY)
Answer & solution

Answer: (c) Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)

Correct Answer: Option 3 – Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY)
Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), launched on January 13, 2016, provides comprehensive crop insurance coverage to farmers against losses due to natural calamities (drought, floods, cyclones, hailstorms), pests, and diseases. Key features: premium rates are very low (2% for Kharif crops, 1.5% for Rabi crops, 5% for commercial/horticultural crops); remaining premium paid by State and Central governments; covers all stages of crop cycle; uses satellite data, drones, and remote sensing for yield estimation. Implemented by general insurance companies.
Option 1 (NFSM): National Food Security Mission aims to increase production of rice, wheat, pulses, and coarse cereals — a production enhancement scheme, not crop insurance.
Option 2 (PMKSY): Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana focuses on irrigation coverage ('Har Khet Ko Pani, More Crop Per Drop') — not crop insurance.
Option 4 (RKVY): Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana provides grants for agricultural development plans — not crop insurance.

Q122. What is the primary goal of the Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP) under NRLM?

  1. (a) To promote women in agriculture
  2. (b) To provide free seeds to farmers
  3. (c) To build irrigation facilities
  4. (d) To promote organic farming
Answer & solution

Answer: (a) To promote women in agriculture

Correct Answer: Option 1 – To promote women in agriculture
Mahila Kisan Sashaktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP) is a sub-component of the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM/DAY-NRLM). Its primary goal is to empower women in agriculture by improving their participation, productivity, and income. It focuses on: recognizing and strengthening women's role as farmers, promoting sustainable agricultural practices, building skills in natural/organic farming (Zero Budget Natural Farming), improving food security, and building women's collectives (SHGs) for agricultural activities.
Option 2 (Free seeds): Providing free seeds is not the primary goal; MKSP focuses on empowerment and capacity building, not direct input provision.
Option 3 (Build irrigation): Irrigation infrastructure is handled by other schemes (PMKSY, AIBP); not MKSP's primary focus.
Option 4 (Promote organic farming): While MKSP encourages sustainable farming practices including organic methods, this is one component — the overarching primary goal is women's empowerment in agriculture.

Q123. What is the primary objective of the PM-PRANAM Scheme, 2023, approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs?

  1. (a) To subsidize the cost of chemical fertilizers for marginal farmers
  2. (b) To incentivize states/UTs for reducing chemical fertilizer usage and promoting sustainability
  3. (c) To distribute organic farming kits directly to farmers across India
  4. (d) To enhance fertilizer production capacity in public sector undertakings
Answer & solution

Answer: (b) To incentivize states/UTs for reducing chemical fertilizer usage and promoting sustainability

Correct Answer: Option 2 – To incentivize states/UTs for reducing chemical fertilizer usage and promoting sustainability
PM-PRANAM (PM Programme for Restoration, Awareness, Nourishment and Amelioration of Mother Earth), approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs in 2023, aims to incentivize states and UTs to reduce the use of chemical (urea and DAP) fertilizers and promote balanced/alternative fertilizer usage and sustainable farming practices. States that save on fertilizer subsidy will get 50% of the saved subsidy as a grant for promoting organic and natural farming.
Option 1 (Subsidize chemical fertilizers): The scheme actually aims to REDUCE chemical fertilizer use, not subsidize it further.
Option 3 (Distribute organic kits): Distribution of kits is not the mechanism; the scheme works through financial incentives to states.
Option 4 (Enhance production capacity): The scheme targets consumption reduction and sustainability, not production capacity enhancement.

Q124. Under the PM-KISAN Yojana, how much financial assistance is provided to eligible farmers annually?

  1. (a) ₹3,000
  2. (b) ₹6,000
  3. (c) ₹10,000
  4. (d) ₹15,000
Answer & solution

Answer: (b) ₹6,000

Under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme, launched in February 2019, eligible farmer families receive ₹6,000 per year in three equal instalments of ₹2,000 each (every four months), directly transferred to their bank accounts through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The scheme covers all landholder farmer families subject to certain exclusion criteria.
Option 1 (₹3,000): Incorrect; ₹3,000 would be the total of only half the annual amount.
Option 3 (₹10,000): Incorrect; this exceeds the actual PM-KISAN annual amount.
Option 4 (₹15,000): Incorrect; this is the annual amount under some state-level farmer support schemes, not PM-KISAN.

  1. (a) Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
  2. (b) Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana
  3. (c) Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana
  4. (d) Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN)
Answer & solution

Answer: (d) Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN)

Correct Answer: Option 4 – Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN)
PM-KISAN, launched in February 2019, provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year (in three instalments of ₹2,000 each) to eligible farmer families. This assured income support helps small and marginal farmers meet expenses related to agricultural inputs and household needs, and is transferred directly to bank accounts via DBT.
Option 1 (PM Fasal Bima Yojana): A crop insurance scheme providing financial support against crop losses due to natural calamities, pests, and diseases — not direct income support.
Option 2 ( Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana): Promotes organic farming through cluster-based approaches; not an income support scheme.
Option 3 (PM Krishi Sinchayee Yojana): Focuses on irrigation infrastructure — 'Har Khet Ko Pani, More Crop Per Drop'; not a direct income support scheme.
