Question
Statement: The Indian government launched its Millet Mission as part of the National Food Security Mission, which has led to the promotion of technological interventions, improvement in seed quality and a minimum support price for millets in India.
Assumptions:
I. Millets have a lower carbon footprint than other food grains.
II. Millets require greater technological support for high yields.
In each question a statement is given, followed by two assumptions, numbered I andII. An assumption is supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Solution
The given statement talks about how the government has launched the Millet Mission, which has resulted in improved seed quality, minimum support price and newer technologies for millets. I is incorrect as the statement has not compared millets to other food grains. II is incorrect as the sentence does not discuss the requirements for growing millets. It has merely stated the results of the Millet Mission under the National Food Security Mission. Thus, (d) is the right answer.
