1. Correct Answer: Option C: Both I and II
 2. Explanation:
     *Statement I is correct.* The Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM) is crucial for the upliftment of the rural poor, as more than 80% of low-producing indigenous animals are owned by small and marginal farmers and landless laborers. This initiative is vital for enhancing milk production and productivity of bovines, meeting the growing demand for milk, and making dairying more profitable for rural farmers.
     *Statement II is correct.* The Rashtriya Gokul Mission was launched to promote the rearing and conservation of indigenous cattle and buffalo breeds in a scientific and holistic manner. The mission aims to enhance the productivity of native breeds, preserve their genetic diversity, and improve rural livelihoods. It focuses on developing high-genetic merit animals through modern breeding technologies, establishing Gokul Grams (cattle care centers), and supporting traditional animal husbandry practices.
