Which program supports food security for tribal communities in Andhra Pradesh?

Girijan Cooperative Corporation
Anna Canteen Scheme
PDS with special provisions
YSR Rythu Bharosa

The correct answer is: a) Girijan Cooperative Corporation

The Girijan Cooperative Corporation (GCC) is a state government undertaking in Andhra Pradesh that provides food security for tribal communities. It was established in 1964 with the objective of promoting the economic development of tribals and to improve their living standards. The GCC provides a variety of services to tribals, including:

  • Supply of food grains at subsidized rates
  • Marketing of tribal produce
  • Provision of credit facilities
  • Promotion of cottage industries
  • Construction of roads and other infrastructure

The GCC has been instrumental in improving the lives of tribals in Andhra Pradesh. It has helped to reduce poverty, improve health and education, and promote economic development.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The Anna Canteen Scheme is a government program that provides subsidized food to the poor. It does not specifically target tribal communities.
  • PDS with special provisions is a government program that provides food grains at subsidized rates to certain groups of people, including tribals. However, it is not a separate program for tribals.
  • YSR Rythu Bharosa is a government program that provides financial assistance to farmers. It does not specifically target tribal farmers.
