A scheme providing subsidized food grains to families below the poverty line:

Antyodaya Anna Yojana
Targeted Public Distribution System
National Food Security Mission
Midday Meal Scheme

The correct answer is A) Antyodaya Anna Yojana.

The Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) is a government of India initiative that provides subsidized food grains to families below the poverty line. The scheme was launched in 2005 and is aimed at providing food security to the poorest of the poor.

The AAY is implemented through the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS). The TPDS is a food distribution system that provides subsidized food grains to ration card holders. Under the AAY, each family is entitled to 35 kilograms of wheat and 20 kilograms of rice per month at a subsidized price.

The AAY has been successful in providing food security to the poorest of the poor. The scheme has helped to reduce hunger and malnutrition in India.

The other options are incorrect.

  • B) Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) is a food distribution system that provides subsidized food grains to ration card holders. The TPDS is not a scheme providing subsidized food grains to families below the poverty line.
  • C) National Food Security Mission (NFSM) is a government of India initiative that aims to improve food security in India. The NFSM is not a scheme providing subsidized food grains to families below the poverty line.
  • D) Midday Meal Scheme is a government of India initiative that provides free cooked meals to children in government schools. The Midday Meal Scheme is not a scheme providing subsidized food grains to families below the poverty line.
