The correct answer is: a) Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY).
Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) is a central government scheme promoting organic farming and sustainable agriculture in India. It was launched in 2015 with the objective of promoting organic farming practices among farmers, increasing the production of organic produce, and improving the livelihoods of farmers.
The scheme provides financial assistance to farmers for adopting organic farming practices, setting up organic processing units, and marketing organic produce. It also provides training and extension support to farmers.
The scheme has been implemented in all states and union territories of India. As of 2019, over 1.5 million farmers have been covered under the scheme. The scheme has helped to increase the area under organic cultivation, the production of organic produce, and the income of farmers.
