Difficulty: MediumExplicit and Fact-Based Information Extraction

Read the passage below and evaluate the statement that follows:

In July 2026, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare launched the National Organic Cultivation Initiative (NOCI) to promote sustainable farming across rainfed areas. Under NOCI guidelines, smallholder organic farmers owning up to two hectares of land are entitled to an annual financial grant of ₹15,000 per hectare for a maximum duration of three consecutive years, provided their farms are certified by an accredited agency and refrain completely from using synthetic fertilizers.

Statement: According to NOCI guidelines, an organic farmer owning three hectares of certified land in a rainfed area is eligible to receive the annual financial grant of ₹15,000 per hectare.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False. The passage explicitly restricts eligibility for the ₹15,000 per hectare grant to smallholder organic farmers owning up to two hectares of land.
The passage explicitly restricts the financial grant under NOCI to farmers holding 'up to two hectares of land'. Since three hectares exceeds this explicit upper limit, the assertion that such a farmer is eligible is factually incorrect based on the text provided.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the explicit eligibility condition regarding landholding in the passage.
The passage specifies that financial grants are available to 'smallholder organic farmers owning up to two hectares of land'.
To verify the maximum landholding boundary set by the policy.
2
Compare the statement's premise against the extracted factual condition.
The statement asserts that a farmer owning three hectares is eligible, which exceeds the explicit limit of two hectares stated in the text.
Evaluating factual truth value without making external assumptions.
