Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : i only The correct answer is I only. Since 2010, Rajasthan state occupies the first position in the country in the micro-irrigation process based on solar energy pumps. Solar Water Pump Programme Solar pump along with micro-irrigation systems scheme was started in Rajasthan in the year 2010-11. Farmers who install micro-irrigation systems (Drip, Mini Sprinkler, and Sprinkler) on their fields are only eligible for the solar pump subsidy. Department of Horticulture is the Implementing Agency and the Director, Horticulture is the Mission Director of the State. Since 2010, Rajasthan state occupies the first position in the country in the micro-irrigation process based on solar energy pumps. Hence statement 1 is correct. 4 stages of the scheme: 1st stage 50 pumps (2010-2011) 2nd stage 500 pumps (2011-2012) 3rd stage 2200 pumps (2012-2013). Hence statement 3 is not correct. 4th stage 10000 pumps (2013-2018) Tamilnadu state occupies the first position in the country in harvesting wind energy. Hence statement 2 is not correct. Rajasthan had secured the third position in the country in harvesting wind energy. Rajasthan Wind and Hybrid Energy Policy, 2019 The Wind and Hybrid Energy Policy, 2019 promotes developing new wind as well as hybrid projects, repowering of existing wind projects, and hybridization of existing wind and solar power plants. The policy will also promote the blending of renewable power with thermal power, thus helping in reducing fuel consumption and carbon-emission.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : i only

The correct answer is I only.

Since 2010, Rajasthan state occupies the first position in the country in the micro-irrigation process based on solar energy pumps.

Solar Water Pump Programme
- Solar pump along with micro-irrigation systems scheme was started in Rajasthan in the year 2010-11.
- Farmers who install micro-irrigation systems (Drip, Mini Sprinkler, and Sprinkler) on their fields are only eligible for the solar pump subsidy.
- Department of Horticulture is the Implementing Agency and the Director, Horticulture is the Mission Director of the State.
- Since 2010, Rajasthan state occupies the first position in the country in the micro-irrigation process based on solar energy pumps. Hence statement 1 is correct.
- 4 stages of the scheme:
  - 1st stage
    - 50 pumps (2010-2011)
  - 2nd stage
    - 500 pumps (2011-2012)
  - 3rd stage
    - 2200 pumps (2012-2013). Hence statement 3 is not correct.
  - 4th stage
    - 10000 pumps (2013-2018)

Tamilnadu state occupies the first position in the country in harvesting wind energy. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
Rajasthan had secured the third position in the country in harvesting wind energy.
Rajasthan Wind and Hybrid Energy Policy, 2019
- The Wind and Hybrid Energy Policy, 2019 promotes developing new wind as well as hybrid projects, repowering of existing wind projects, and hybridization of existing wind and solar power plants.
- The policy will also promote the blending of renewable power with thermal power, thus helping in reducing fuel consumption and carbon-emission.
