Amit Shah Opens Rs 255 Crore Ujjain Dairy Plant at Bhopal Meet

The correct answer is 75 thousand. The target set under White Revolution 2.0 is to establish that many new cooperative dairies across the country, and alongside it to strengthen 46 thousand dairies that already exist. Madhya Pradesh is expected to see a large number of the new dairies, which is why the figure came up at a gathering of livestock rearers in Bhopal. Option B is wrong because it is the figure for existing dairies to be strengthened, not for new ones, and this pairing of two numbers in one scheme is the trap such questions are built on. Option A is wrong because it matches neither target. Option D is wrong because it rounds the target upward to a figure that was not announced. The practical way to revise the scheme is as a pair, with the larger number for new dairies to be created and the smaller one for dairies to be strengthened, both under the same programme.

The correct answer is Ujjain. The Union Cooperation Minister digitally laid the foundation stone of a milk processing plant of 3 lakh litres a day there, to be built at a cost of 255 crore rupees. Option A, Indore, is wrong, though candidates should note that livestock rearers of the Indore milk union did receive bonuses at the same programme, so the city figures in the announcement for a different reason. Option C, Shivpuri, is wrong because what was taken up there was the strengthening of an existing mini dairy plant, inaugurated digitally at the same event, rather than a new processing plant. Option D, Gwalior, is wrong because no project in that city was part of this set of announcements. When several projects in one state are announced together, the reliable method is to write each city beside its project and its cost, since questions frequently swap the cities while keeping the figures intact.

The correct answer is 485 grams. Per capita milk availability in the country has risen by about 58 per cent, from around 307 grams a day in 2014-15 to about 485 grams a day at present, and India is now the world's largest milk producing country. Option A is wrong because it is the earlier figure and not the present one; a question that gives both years and asks for one of them is testing exactly this distinction. Options B and D are wrong because they are near misses on the current figure and do not match what was stated. The companion figures are worth revising in the same breath: total milk production has grown from about 14.60 crore tonnes in 2014-15 to about 24.80 crore tonnes, and dairy exports stand at about 4,666 crore rupees to countries including the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Bhutan.

The correct answer is KRIBHCO. The memorandum of understanding for developing an urban forest in Bhopal under the Morvan Project was exchanged between KRIBHCO and the Madhya Pradesh State Biodiversity Board during the programme. Option B, IFFCO, is a different fertiliser cooperative and was not party to this agreement, although the similarity of the two names makes it the most likely wrong answer to attract a candidate. Option C, NAFED, is the cooperative marketing federation for agricultural produce and had no role in this memorandum. Option D, the National Cooperative Development Corporation, finances cooperative development and was likewise not involved here. Two other cooperative details from the same event are worth noting together with this one: the Sardar Patel Cooperative Dairy Federation Limited has been established for work in the dairy sector, and sanction letters were handed out under the Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Kamdhenu Yojana.
