The primary objective of the 'SAMPADA' initiative launched by the Government of India is to promote and support which of the following sectors?

The correct option is Food Processing and Agro-Marine Logistics.

Explanation:

SAMPADA stands for Scheme for Agro-Marine Processing and Development of Agro-Processing Clusters. It was launched by the Government of India under the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI).

The main objective of the scheme is to modernise agriculture, reduce post-harvest losses, integrate supply chains from farm gate to retail outlets, and create robust infrastructure for food processing and agro-marine logistics.

The scheme was later re-named as Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY). It aims to supplement agriculture, modernize processing facilities, and prevent agricultural produce waste, directly benefiting farmers and creating employment opportunities in the food processing sector.
