'e-Kisan Upaj Nidhi' is launched by which ministry?

• A. Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare
• B. Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution
• C. Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways

Hint:

Link food grain tracking and distribution projects with the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, not directly with agriculture.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the scheme
The 'e-Kisan Upaj Nidhi' initiative aims to support farmers with digital tracking and documentation of agricultural produce and market linkages.
Step 2: Identify the responsible ministry
While agriculture-related schemes often fall under the Ministry of Agriculture, this specific initiative focuses on consumer affairs, food supply chain, and distribution — hence, it falls under the purview of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution.
