How much was sanctioned to ten states under the Prime Minister Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana at the National Agriculture Conference - Rabi Campaign 2026?
- A.More than Rs 800 crore
- B.More than Rs 1200 crore
- C.More than Rs 1800 crore
- D.More than Rs 2400 crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is more than Rs 1200 crore. At the conference the Union Agriculture Minister handed financial sanction letters under PM-RKVY to the agriculture ministers of ten states, and the total came to more than Rs 1200 crore. The individual shares add up to that figure: West Bengal Rs 290 crore, Haryana Rs 198 crore, Chhattisgarh Rs 181 crore, Arunachal Pradesh Rs 154 crore, Bihar Rs 114 crore, Karnataka Rs 104 crore, Mizoram Rs 75 crore, Himachal Pradesh Rs 64 crore, Jharkhand Rs 58 crore and Punjab Rs 43 crore. Option A is too low and does not match the sum of the state shares. Option C and option D are both far above what was actually distributed and correspond to no announcement made at the conference. Candidates should also note that the money was released so that states could begin work on the ground at once rather than wait for funds after the season had started.
