2. Only 2 and 3 are correct
3. Only 1 and 3 are correct
4. All 1, 2 and 3 are correct

Correct answer: Only 1 and 2 are correct

Solution

PM-PRANAM is intended to encourage states to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and promote alternatives such as organic fertilizers. It also aims to ease the subsidy burden on chemical fertilizers. The third statement is incorrect because it is not described as a 100% centrally funded scheme with no state contribution.
