The correct answer is: Vulnerable populations.
The Annapurna Yojana is a social security scheme launched by the Government of Gujarat in 2002. It is a food security scheme that provides free food grains to the poorest of the poor in the state. The scheme is targeted at vulnerable populations such as the elderly, widows, disabled, and the homeless.
The scheme provides 5 kg of wheat and 2 kg of rice per month to each eligible person. The beneficiaries are identified by the state government and the food grains are distributed through ration shops.
The Annapurna Yojana has been successful in providing food security to the poorest of the poor in Gujarat. It has helped to reduce hunger and malnutrition in the state. The scheme has also helped to improve the quality of life of the beneficiaries.
The other options are incorrect because:
- School children are not the target population of the Annapurna Yojana. The scheme is targeted at vulnerable populations, not school children.
- Farmers are not the target population of the Annapurna Yojana. The scheme is targeted at vulnerable populations, not farmers.
- The urban poor are not the target population of the Annapurna Yojana. The scheme is targeted at vulnerable populations, not the urban poor.
