The question pertains to the factual content of the Union Budget 2024-25. Statement 3, claiming '20,000 need-based bio-input resource centres', is incorrect because the actual budgetary announcement specifically highlighted the establishment of 10,000 bio-input resource centres to support natural farming adoption.

Think of this like a factory expansion plan; if a company announces a plan to open 10 centers to train workers, and a report wrongly states 20, the report has factually misrepresented the scale of the approved infrastructure project.

CbтАЛ=104 тАФ established count of bio-input resource centres
Budgetary policy for agricultural development often follows a phased approach involving resource creation and target-based outreach. The Government of India targets natural farming through the promotion of bio-inputs (organic manure, bio-pesticides) to reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers, following the principle of scaling up infrastructure from a localized resource-hub model.
The budget focuses on four major castes: Garib (Poor), Mahilayen (Women), Yuva (Youth), and Annadata (Farmers).
Certification and branding are provided to facilitate the natural farming ecosystem.
1,000 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) are scheduled for upgrade under the hub and spoke model.
The actual count for bio-input resource centres stated in the budget is 10,000, not 20,000.
Reduces soil degradation through lower chemical reliance
Increases farmer income via branding and certification
Promotes localized agricultural employment
Organic farming supply chains
Agricultural vocational training
The 'Annadata' (farmer) is a primary focus of the 2024-25 economic strategy.
The upgrade of 1,000 ITIs is aimed at aligning industrial skill development with current market requirements.
A is correct тАФ Statement 3 is incorrect as the budget announced 10,000 bio-input resource centres, not 20,000.
In competitive exams, always check numerical data in government scheme statements; discrepancies in numbers (like 10k vs 20k) are common 'incorrect' triggers.
