Statement I: Dr. Suniti Sharma was awarded the State Krishi Ratna Award 2025 for pioneering zero-budget natural farming models across drought-prone southern districts.
Statement II: The state newly launched the 'Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Yojana' as a 100% grant scheme exclusively restricted to women-led micro-enterprises.

    Only Statement I
  2. B
    Statements I, II, and III
  3. Statements I and IIIAnswer
  4. D
    Only Statement III

Answer

Statements I and III are correct.
The correct response identifies that Statements I and III accurately describe recent state developments. Dr. Suniti Sharma was honored with the State Krishi Ratna Award 2025 for her natural farming work, and Justice (Retd.) A.K. Patnaik was named head of the state wetland enquiry commission. Statement II is false because the Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Yojana is a credit-linked interest subsidy scheme for young entrepreneurs generally, not an exclusive female grant program.

3
Analyze Statement III regarding administrative and judicial committee appointments
