iii. The Government of India launched 'National Mission on Edible Oils - Oil Palm' ('NMEO-OP') in 2023.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Only iii.
The National Agriculture Market (e-NAM) scheme was indeed launched in 2016 to create a unified national market for agricultural commodities, making statement (i) correct. The agriculture credit flow in 2020–21 was approximately ₹15.75 lakh crore, matching statement (ii). However, the National Mission on Edible Oils – Oil Palm (NMEO-OP) was launched in August 2021, not in 2023. This centrally sponsored scheme aims to boost domestic oil palm production and reduce import dependence.
Therefore, statement (iii) is incorrect, while (i) and (ii) are correct.
