C. Jammu and KashmirC. जम्मू और कश्मीर
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Jammu and Kashmir.
According to the source, the Saffron Mission was initiated in 2010 with the objective of increasing saffron production and improving its quality while also boosting the income of growers.
The book states that the mission aimed to use scientific techniques to rejuvenate saffron bulbs.
It also sought to provide groundwater irrigation through borewells and sprinklers, introduce power tillers, and establish a high-tech saffron park.
The source further mentions mechanised processing, a testing laboratory and an e-trading facility as parts of the initiative.
These details make the question important beyond a simple state-location fact because they explain the agricultural and technological objectives of the mission.
For the direct PYQ, the main association is Saffron Mission — 2010 — Jammu and Kashmir.
Students should also remember the mission's broad goals: higher saffron production, better quality and increased grower income.
Scientific rejuvenation of saffron bulbs and improved irrigation infrastructure are additional source-based points that can help answer descriptive or statement-based questions.
Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Haryana are not identified by the book as the place where this mission was initiated.
Since the question specifically asks 'At which place', the geographical association is the decisive element.
For revision, remember: Saffron Mission — Jammu and Kashmir — 2010 — production, quality, grower income — scientific cultivation and irrigation — high-tech saffron park, processing, testing and e-trading.
Therefore option (c) is correct.
सही उत्तर जम्मू और कश्मीर है। स्रोत के अनुसार Saffron Mission की शुरुआत 2010 में की गई थी और इसका उद्देश्य saffron production बढ़ाना, उसकी quality में सुधार करना तथा growers की income बढ़ाना था। पुस्तक बताती है कि इस mission में scientific techniques का प्रयोग करके saffron bulbs को rejuvenate करने का लक्ष्य रखा गया था। इसके साथ groundwater irrigation उपलब्ध कराने के लिए borewells और sprinklers, power tillers तथा high-tech saffron park की व्यवस्था का भी उद्देश्य था। स्रोत mechanised processing, testing laboratory और e-trading facility का भी उल्लेख करता है। इसलिए यह केवल एक state-location question नहीं है; इसमें agricultural development और technology से जुड़े कई महत्वपूर्ण तथ्य भी हैं। सीधे PYQ के लिए मुख्य association है: Saffron Mission — 2010 — Jammu and Kashmir। इसके broad objectives भी याद रखें: saffron production बढ़ाना, quality सुधारना और growers की income बढ़ाना। Scientific cultivation और irrigation infrastructure से जुड़े facts statement-based questions में उपयोगी हो सकते हैं। Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka और Haryana को स्रोत इस mission की शुरुआत का स्थान नहीं बताता। प्रश्न विशेष रूप से 'At which place' पूछता है, इसलिए geographical association निर्णायक है। Revision chain रखें: Saffron Mission — Jammu and Kashmir — 2010 — production + quality + grower income — scientific techniques — irrigation — high-tech saffron park — mechanised processing — testing laboratory — e-trading। इसलिए विकल्प (c), जम्मू और कश्मीर, सही उत्तर है।
