Solution

The correct option is C Providing irrigation facilities
The Intensive Agriculture Development Programme (IADP), also known as the 'package programme' was introduced in 1960–61. It focused on providing loans to farmers for seeds and fertilisers and on helping them boost the agricultural production. The programme supported farmers with new techniques in agriculture, such as crop rotation and irrigation systems.
