Option 3 : 1, and 3 only
The correct answer is 1 and 3 only.
- According to the NSSO 70th Round "Situation Assessment Survey of Agricultural Households", Rajasthan had the highest percentage of agricultural households (78.4 percent) among its rural households followed by Uttar Pradesh (74.8 percent) and Madhya Pradesh (70.8 percent). Hence, statement 1 is correct.
- As per the survey, about 45 percent out of the total agricultural households in the country belonged to Other Backward Classes (OBC). About 16 percent of agricultural households were from Scheduled Castes (SC) and 13 percent were from Scheduled Tribes (ST). Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
- Agricultural activity (cultivation, livestock, and other agricultural activities) was reported to be the principal source of income for the majority of the households in all the major States, except Kerala where about 61 percent of the agricultural households reported to have earned maximum income from sources other than agricultural activities. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
