The correct answer is B) Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.

The ‘e-Kisan Upaj Nidhi’ (Digital Gateway) was launched by the Department of Food and Public Distribution, which falls under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. The initiative aims to provide farmers with warehousing options for their produce.

This digital platform facilitates online registration of farmers, storage of their produce in registered warehouses under the Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRA), and obtaining electronic Negotiable Warehouse Receipts (eNWRs). This enables farmers to store their produce closer to their location and secure post-harvest loans.
