The correct answer is (d). The first agriculture policy was introduced in Uttarakhand in 2006. The policy was aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture and increasing productivity. It also focused on improving the livelihood of farmers and reducing poverty.
The policy had a number of key initiatives, including:
- Promoting organic farming
- Providing subsidies for agricultural inputs
- Investing in irrigation and water management
- Developing new agricultural technologies
- Providing training and extension services to farmers
The policy has had a positive impact on agriculture in Uttarakhand. Productivity has increased, and farmers have benefited from the subsidies and other initiatives. However, there are still challenges to be addressed, such as the need to improve infrastructure and reduce the impact of climate change.
