उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: D
All three statements accurately reflect the factors contributing to mental health challenges among farmers in India. Climate change leads to crop failures and financial distress. Social isolation and lack of access to support systems exacerbate the problem. Stigma prevents farmers from seeking help.
2. Which of the following initiatives directly addresses the mental health needs of vulnerable populations in India, including farmers?
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: B
The National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) is specifically designed to address mental health needs, including those of vulnerable populations. While other schemes like PM-KISAN, MGNREGA, and PMFBY indirectly contribute to well-being, they do not directly target mental health.
3. Assertion (A): The Pune Kisan Mela's focus on mental health indicates a growing awareness of the psychological challenges faced by the agricultural community. Reason (R): Farmers are increasingly vulnerable to stress due to factors like climate change, market fluctuations, and debt burdens. In the context of the above statements, which of the following is correct?
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: A
Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. The Kisan Mela's focus reflects awareness, and the reason accurately identifies the stressors faced by farmers.
4. Which of the following is NOT typically considered a contributing factor to farmer suicides in India?
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: D
High levels of job security and stable income are the opposite of the conditions that contribute to farmer suicides. The other options (debt, crop failure, lack of irrigation) are all well-documented contributing factors.
