With reference to 'Initiative for Nutritional Security through Intensive Millets Promotion', which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. This initiative aims to demonstrate the improved production and post-harvest technologies, and to demonstrate value addition techniques, in an integrated manner, with cluster approach. 2. Poor, small, marginal and tribal farmers have larger stake in this scheme. 3. An important objective of the scheme is to encourage farmers of commercial crops to shift to millet cultivation by offering them free kits of critical inputs of nutrients and microirrigation equipment. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

The 'Initiative for Nutritional Security through Intensive Millets Promotion (INSIMP)' was a sub-scheme under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) launched by the Government of India. Its objectives included:

1. This initiative aims to demonstrate the improved production and post-harvest technologies, and to demonstrate value addition techniques, in an integrated manner, with cluster approach. This statement is correct. The scheme focused on promoting improved cultivation practices, better post-harvest management, and value addition of millets through a cluster-based approach to enhance their marketability and nutritional security.

2. Poor, small, marginal and tribal farmers have larger stake in this scheme. This statement is correct. Millets are often grown in rainfed and marginal areas, making them crucial for the food security and livelihoods of poor, small, marginal, and tribal farmers who constitute a significant portion of millet growers.

3. An important objective of the scheme is to encourage farmers of commercial crops to shift to millet cultivation by offering them free kits of critical inputs of nutrients and microirrigation equipment. This statement is incorrect. While the scheme aimed to promote millet cultivation, its primary focus was on supporting existing millet growers and expanding millet areas, not necessarily on encouraging a direct shift from commercial crops to millets by offering free kits in this manner. The emphasis was on promoting millets for nutritional security and climate resilience, often in areas where they are already traditional crops or suitable due to agro-climatic conditions, rather than a broad incentive for commercial crop farmers to switch.

Therefore, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
