The correct answer is: a) The poorest households.
The Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) is a government of India initiative that aims to provide food security to the poorest households in the country. The scheme was launched in 2005 and provides subsidized foodgrains to these households at a highly subsidized rate.
The AAY is a targeted public distribution system (TPDS) scheme, which means that it is only available to a select group of beneficiaries. The beneficiaries of the AAY are identified by the state governments based on a set of criteria, which include income, assets, and social status.
The AAY is a very important scheme for the poorest households in India. It provides them with access to essential foodgrains at a very affordable price. This helps to ensure that they do not go hungry and that they are able to meet their basic needs.
The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically target the poorest households. Option b) Farmers, option c) Urban informal workers, and option d) Migrant laborers are all important groups in India, but they are not the only groups that are targeted by the AAY.
