वरीलपैकी कोणते/ती विधान/ने योग्य आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option A ((a) and (b) are correct).

Key Points:
• Launch of e-NAM: Statement (a) is correct. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National Agriculture Market (e-NAM) on 14th April, 2016 (on Ambedkar Jayanti) as a pan-India electronic portal connecting wholesale APMC mandis.
• Integration with GrAMs: Statement (b) is correct. The Central Government developed a scheme to upgrade 22,000 rural haats into Gramin Agricultural Markets (GrAMs) and link them electronically to the e-NAM portal to facilitate direct marketing by small and marginal farmers.
• Regulation of GrAMs: Statement (c) is incorrect. GrAMs are purposely kept outside the direct statutory regulation and transaction fees of the APMC Acts to promote open, unhindered local village trade.
• Lead Agency: Small Farmers' Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC) is the lead agency implementing e-NAM.
• Key Takeaway: e-NAM was launched on 14th April 2016; GrAMs are electronically linked to e-NAM but operate outside direct APMC regulation.
