The correct answer is option C) Both 1 and 2.
Explanation:
The Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro food processing Enterprises (PMFME) is a centrally sponsored scheme aimed at providing financial, technical, and business support to micro food processing units. The scheme is a part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan and was launched by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI).
Under the PMFME scheme, the government aims to enhance the competitiveness of micro food processing enterprises, promote formalization of the sector, and support the local brands and products. The scheme provides financial assistance for various activities such as capacity building, infrastructure development, technology upgradation, access to credit, and marketing support.
One District One Product (ODOP) is an initiative launched by the MoFPI in collaboration with the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED) under the PMFME scheme. The objective of ODOP is to identify and promote specific products from each district of India to leverage the local resources and potential.
Under the ODOP initiative, local products with unique characteristics and traditional skills are identified and branded to enhance their market visibility and create a niche for them in national and international markets. This branding and promotion of ODOP products are done under the PMFME scheme, which provides the necessary support and assistance to micro food processing enterprises involved in producing these products.
Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are correct. The PMFME scheme is a centrally sponsored scheme, and the MoFPI and NAFED have launched ODOP brands under this scheme to promote specific products from each district of India.
