What is the special focus of this edition of the Special Campaign in the Department of Food and Public Distribution?
- A.Collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste
- B.Recruitment of nodal officers
- C.Construction of new warehouses
- D.Revision of the minimum support price
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste. The Department said that this year special focus is being given to electronic waste, along with the standing objectives of cleanliness, disposal of pending matters and better use of office space, and it identified a specific number of e-waste items for disposal during the preparatory phase. Option B is wrong because nodal officers were not recruited for the drive; they already exist and are being used to review progress in regular meetings. Option C is wrong because building warehouses is not part of this administrative drive, even though warehousing organisations are participating in it. Option D concerns agricultural price policy, which has nothing to do with a campaign on pendency, record management and waste disposal.
