Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

The Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) is a flagship central scheme launched in 2015 to promote organic farming in India. It is implemented as a sub-component of the Soil Health Management (SHM) under the National Mission of Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA). The scheme encourages chemical-free farming through a cluster-based approach and utilizes the Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) for organic certification. Other options serve different purposes: PM-KISAN provides direct income support of ₹6,000 per year to farmers; PM Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) focuses on improving water-use efficiency and expanding irrigation coverage; and Krishi Bhagya is a specific Karnataka state government initiative aimed at improving rain-fed agriculture through rainwater harvesting and conservation.
