Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1 and 2 only
The stated objectives of the Mega Food Park Scheme are to create state-of-the-art infrastructure for food processing (statement 1) and to maximise value‐addition of perishables so as to reduce wastage (statement 2). The scheme documents and standard references do not list the dissemination of ‘emerging and eco-friendly technologies’ as an explicit purpose; hence statement 3 is not essential. Therefore only 1 and 2 are correct. ([drishtiias.com](https://www.drishtiias.com/current-affairs-news-analysis-editorials/news-analysis/10-11-2023?utm_source=openai))
