Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A) Provide subsidized milk to children.
The Ksheera Bhagya scheme is a government of Karnataka initiative to provide subsidized milk to children aged 6 months to 12 years. The scheme was launched in 2013 and aims to provide 1 litre of milk per day to each child at a subsidized rate of Rs. 1 per litre. The scheme is implemented through a network of milk cooperatives and is funded by the state government.
The scheme has been successful in providing access to quality milk to children from poor families. It has also helped to improve the nutritional status of children and has contributed to the growth of the dairy sector in Karnataka.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B is incorrect because the Ksheera Bhagya scheme does not promote dairy cooperatives. The scheme is implemented through a network of milk cooperatives, but it does not provide any financial or other support to these cooperatives.
- Option C is incorrect because the Ksheera Bhagya scheme does not improve cattle breeding. The scheme does not provide any support for cattle breeding or for the improvement of cattle breeds.
- Option D is incorrect because the Ksheera Bhagya scheme does not enhance fodder production. The scheme does not provide any support for fodder production or for the improvement of fodder production methods.
