Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Suchitwa Mission is Kerala's state nodal agency for sanitation and municipal solid waste management; it promotes cleanliness and initiatives such as plastic-free events including weddings.
Purpose: Improve sanitation and manage municipal solid waste across the state.
Key activities: community cleanliness drives, reducing single-use plastics, and promoting plastic-free ceremonies such as weddings.
Why other choices are incorrect: The other options describe crop-promotion, water-preservation, and wildlife-protection initiatives, which are handled by agriculture, water, and forest/wildlife departments respectively—not by a sanitation nodal agency.
Memory tip: The word 'Suchitwa' means cleanliness; use this to associate the mission with sanitation-related activities.
