      Question

      Which of the following is INCORRECTLY stated about the

      Central Sector Scheme for Formation and Promotion of 10,000 FPOs?
      A The scheme has a total budgetary outlay of â‚ą6,865 crore till 2027-28 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Each FPO receives matching equity grant of up to â‚ą15 lakh based on â‚ą2,000 per farmer member Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Credit guarantee facility up to â‚ą2 crore per FPO is available from eligible lending institutions Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Handholding support is provided for a period of 3 years from the year of FPO creation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E FPOs have been onboarded on e-NAM, ONDC, and GeM platforms Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Statement D is incorrect. The scheme provides handholding support for a period of 5 years from the year of FPO creation — not 3 years. Financial assistance of ₹18 lakh as management cost is provided over 3 years, which is separate from handholding. All other statements are accurate: ₹6,865 crore total outlay; equity grant up to ₹15 lakh at ₹2,000/member; credit guarantee up to ₹2 crore; and onboarding on e-NAM, ONDC, and GeM
