Question

Which one of the following states in India has declared 2026 as the ``Year of Agriculture'' (Krishak Kalyan Year) to strengthen its agricultural sector and to improve farmer livelihood?

• A. Karnataka
• B. Madhya Pradesh
• C. Gujarat
• D. Meghalaya

Hint:

Madhya Pradesh is often called the ``Soybean State'' and has strong agricultural production in India.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Note the scheme name.
"Year of Agriculture" is also referred to as Krishak Kalyan Year, a Hindi-flavoured name that hints at a Hindi-belt state.
Step 2: Recall the state behind Krishak Kalyan branding.
Madhya Pradesh has previously used the Krishak Kalyan name for farmer-welfare programmes, and it declared 2026 under this theme.
Step 3: Eliminate the rest.
Karnataka, Gujarat and Meghalaya have not been reported with this specific declaration.
