The correct answer is: A. Agricultural labourers
The Doodh Ganga Yojana is a scheme launched by the Government of India in 2014 to provide a boost to the dairy sector in the country. The scheme aims to increase milk production, improve the quality of milk, and provide better marketing facilities for milk producers. The scheme is expected to benefit over 10 million milk producers, including agricultural labourers.
The scheme provides financial assistance to milk producers for the purchase of cattle, fodder, and other inputs. It also provides training to milk producers on modern dairy farming practices. The scheme also provides marketing assistance to milk producers, such as setting up milk collection centers and cold storage facilities.
The Doodh Ganga Yojana is expected to have a positive impact on the economic upliftment of agricultural labourers. The scheme will provide them with an opportunity to increase their income and improve their standard of living. It will also help to create employment opportunities in the dairy sector.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B, Rural households, is incorrect because the scheme is not specifically targeted at rural households. It is open to all milk producers, including those from urban areas.
- Option C, Urban households, is incorrect for the same reason as Option B.
- Option D, Marginal farmers, is incorrect because the scheme is not specifically targeted at marginal farmers. It is open to all milk producers, including those who are not marginal farmers.
