Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched in 2015-16 with the primary goal of improving water use efficiency and expanding irrigation coverage [4]. Its core objectives include achieving convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level [2], expanding the cultivable area under assured irrigation through the 'Har Khet Ko Pani' component [7], and improving on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage via the 'Per Drop More Crop' initiative [8]. While the scheme aims to provide 'protective irrigation' to all farms to ensure rural prosperity , protecting farmers specifically against crop failure due to natural calamities is the primary objective of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), not PMKSY. PMKSY focuses on the irrigation supply chain, including water source creation, distribution, and management [6].
