How much revenue did the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare generate during Special Campaign 6?

  1. A.Rs 12,19,644
  2. B.Rs 22,19,644
  3. C.Rs 32,19,644
  4. D.Rs 42,19,644

Correct answer

C. Rs 32,19,644

Explanation

The correct answer is Rs 32,19,644. The money came from selling off scrap and electronic waste collected while offices were cleared, with trucks flagged off to authorised recyclers rather than the material being dumped. Options A, B and D, namely Rs 12,19,644, Rs 22,19,644 and Rs 42,19,644, are not the sum reported. The point the department makes is that a cleanliness drive need not be a cost centre: sorting and selling waste properly turns clutter into income while also meeting environmental rules. Remember the companion figures as well, since a question may ask for any of them. The department disposed of 3,733 e-waste articles against a target of 3,298, released 13,553 sq ft of office space and planted more than 2,000 saplings through its field offices.
