General Studies · Logical Inferences

Read the statement given below and evaluate the two inferences that follow. Statement: India is the second largest food producer in the world. However, the existing infrastructure can accommodate only 47% of the produce. According to the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, storage is the leading cause of post-harvest losses for all kinds of food in India. To enhance food grain storage capacity in the cooperative sector, a new storage plan is based on the hub and spoke model. The plan will let cooperatives set up decentralized storage facilities across the country. Inferences: I. The new model helps India establish better storage facilities, which will help preserve food grains for a long duration. II. The new model gives all the power to control and manage the storehouse to the Government of India.
