Explanation:

• The Atmanirbhar Clean Plant Program was announced in the Union Budget 2023-24. It aims to reduce the challenges of obtaining disease-free and genuine planting materials for high value horticultural crops in India. Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
• As per government sources, the Indian government plans to establish 10 Clean Plant Centres to promote the domestic production of crops like apples, almonds, grapes, avocados, and blueberries, which have seen an increase in demand for imported planting materials. The process of importing plants is very cumbersome, as the imported plants must be kept in quarantine for two years. After the establishment of the Clean Plant Centres, this period will be reduced to six months, the source said.
• The Clean Plant Centres will provide services of disease diagnostic, therapeutics, multiplying of plants and generation of mother plants, the source added. The centres will be fully funded by the Centre.
• It will be implemented in a PPP mode in partnership with research organisations, agriculture universities and private sector partners, the National Horticulture Board (NHB) will anchor the clean plant programme.
