The correct answer is A. 2.56%.
Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture concerned with the raising of livestock. It is a major source of food for humans, and also provides other products such as wool, leather, and manure. In the state of Chhattisgarh, animal husbandry is a significant contributor to the economy. In the year 2015-16, it contributed 2.56% to the Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP). This was higher than the national average of 2.27%.
The contribution of animal husbandry to the GSDP is mainly due to the production of milk, meat, and eggs. In the year 2015-16, the state produced 2.8 million tonnes of milk, 0.5 million tonnes of meat, and 0.2 million tonnes of eggs. These products were worth Rs. 10,000 crore, Rs. 2,000 crore, and Rs. 500 crore, respectively.
The state government has been taking various measures to promote animal husbandry. These measures include providing subsidies on the purchase of livestock, setting up of veterinary hospitals and dispensaries, and providing training to farmers in animal husbandry practices. These measures have helped to increase the production of livestock products in the state.
