Which of the following crops is not covered under the National Food Security Mission ?

Pulses
Rice
Wheat
Coarse Cereals

The correct answer is (d), coarse cereals.

The National Food Security Mission (NFSM) is a government of India scheme launched in 2007 to increase production of rice, wheat, pulses, and coarse cereals. The scheme provides financial assistance to farmers for inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation. It also provides training and extension services to farmers.

Coarse cereals are not covered under the NFSM because they are not considered to be a priority crop. The government believes that there is enough production of coarse cereals to meet the needs of the population. However, some experts believe that the government should include coarse cereals in the NFSM because they are an important source of nutrition for the poor.

Pulses are a type of legume that is a good source of protein. Rice is a type of cereal that is a staple food in many parts of the world. Wheat is another type of cereal that is a staple food in many parts of the world.
