This is a 2-mark question, so 4–5 crisp points are sufficient. Examiners look for specific scheme names (KCC, PAIS, Green Revolution, White Revolution) and institutional measures (crop insurance, Grameen banks, MSP). Avoid writing lengthy descriptions — one line per point is enough. Listing format works well here and is easy to mark.
