Through which institutions will the special training campaign for farmers on the new Agri Welfare Portal be run?

  1. A.Krishi Vigyan Kendras
  2. B.Primary agricultural credit societies
  3. C.State agricultural marketing boards
  4. D.Common service centres

Correct answer

A. Krishi Vigyan Kendras

Explanation

The correct answer is Krishi Vigyan Kendras. The minister said a dedicated training drive would be run through the Krishi Vigyan Kendras across the country so that farmers become skilled in using the portal and other digital tools, and he asked that the language and the process be kept simple enough for small and marginal farmers with limited schooling. Option B is wrong, though it is a tempting choice: primary agricultural credit societies are among the bodies the platform will connect, together with farmer producer organisations, agricultural scientists, researchers and start-ups, but the training is not routed through them. Option C is wrong because state agricultural marketing boards are not named in this context, even though the portal will carry authentic mandi price information. Option D is wrong because common service centres find no mention here. The pairing to remember is simple: the portal for delivery, and the Krishi Vigyan Kendras for training farmers to use it.
