The correct answer is (a).
The National Food Subsidy Mission (NFSM) is a government of India scheme that provides food subsidies to the poor. It was launched in 2007-08 with the objective of providing food security to all citizens of India. The NFSM provides food grains at subsidized rates to ration card holders. The scheme is implemented through the Public Distribution System (PDS).
The NFSM has been effective in reducing hunger and malnutrition in India. It has also helped to improve the nutritional status of children and women. The scheme has been praised by international organizations such as the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization.
The NFSM has also been criticized for its high cost and for the leakage of food grains to non-beneficiaries. However, the scheme remains an important part of the government’s efforts to provide food security to the poor in India.
The other options are incorrect because the NFSM was not launched in those years.
