Correct Answer: Savings and investments among farmers
Solution : The correct answer is (d) savings and investments among individuals, including farmers.
The Kisan Vikas Patra is a savings scheme launched by the Government of India. It provides a safe and secure investment option for individuals to save money and earn a fixed rate of interest over a specific period. The scheme aims to encourage individuals, including farmers, to save their money and build a corpus for their future financial needs.
Under the Kisan Vikas Patra scheme, individuals can invest a certain amount of money and receive a certificate, which represents their investment. The investment grows over time, and at maturity, the certificate can be encashed along with the accrued interest.
