  2. B.Rs 251.56 lakh
  3. C.Rs 351.56 lakh
  4. D.Rs 451.56 lakh

Correct answer

B. Rs 251.56 lakh

Explanation

The correct answer is Rs 251.56 lakh. Projects and initiatives of this value are being inaugurated and launched in the Gangtok and Mangan districts of Sikkim to strengthen dairy development and livestock infrastructure, and they include a microbiology laboratory for the Sikkim Milk Union, new dairy cooperative societies, a traceability initiative for Churpi cheese and the promotion of fodder-based farmer producer organisations. Options A, C and D are wrong because they are not the figure stated for this package of work. Aspirants should keep the figure apart from the other amounts that appear in the same announcement, such as the money released under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission since 2014, the special project for the Siri cattle breed and the outlay sanctioned under the National Programme for Dairy Development, since questions often mix up one amount with another.
