Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. NFDB
The National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) is a statutory body under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India. It was established in 1980 with the objective of promoting the development of fisheries in the country.
The NFDB assists in the scheme called ‘mobile fish market vehicle’ by providing financial assistance to states and union territories for the purchase of mobile fish market vehicles. These vehicles are used to transport fish from the landing centers to the retail markets. This helps to reduce the post-harvest losses and improve the quality of fish available to the consumers.
The other options are incorrect because:
- MIDH is the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India. It is not involved in the scheme called ‘mobile fish market vehicle’.
- Fishfed is a cooperative society under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India. It is not involved in the scheme called ‘mobile fish market vehicle’.
- The Government of India is not directly involved in the scheme called ‘mobile fish market vehicle’. However, it provides financial assistance to the NFDB for the implementation of the scheme.
