Statement-I claims that under PMFME, ODOP status has been approved for 137 unique products. The PMFME scheme indeed adopts the One District One Product (ODOP) approach for micro food processing units. However, the total number of ODOPs identified across all districts in India is much larger than 137, with each district having at least one identified product, and sometimes more. Therefore, the number 137 is likely inaccurate for the total unique approved ODOPs under the scheme, making Statement-I false. Statement-II correctly describes the initial focus and components of the Operation Greens Scheme. Launched in 2018, it initially aimed to stabilize the supply and prices of Tomato, Onion, and Potato (TOP). The scheme promotes Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), agri-logistics, storage facilities, and processing facilities to reduce post-harvest losses and ensure value addition for these crops. This statement accurately reflects the scheme's scope and objectives for TOP crops.
Select the correct option regarding the following assertions. Statement-I: Under Prime Minister-Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises, One District One Product (ODOP) status for 137 unique products in India has been approved by Ministry of Food Processing Industries. Statement-II: Operation Greens Scheme in India promotes Farmer Producer Organisations, agri-logistics, and processing facilities for Tomato, Onion and Potato crops.
