[amp_mcq option1=”Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation” option2=”Food Corporation of India” option3=”APMC” option4=”NAFED” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation.<\/p>\n

The Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation (TNCSC) is a state-owned enterprise of the Government of Tamil Nadu, India. It was established in 1960 to undertake the procurement, storage, distribution, and sale of food grains and other essential commodities in the state.<\/p>\n

The TNCSC has a network of over 1,000 fair price shops (FPSs) and over 100 godowns (warehouses) across the state. It procures food grains from farmers at the minimum support price (MSP) and distributes them to the FPSs at a subsidized rate. The FPSs then sell the food grains to the public at a price that is affordable to the common man.<\/p>\n

The TNCSC also undertakes the distribution of other essential commodities such as sugar, kerosene, and LPG cylinders. It also provides ration cards to the eligible households in the state.<\/p>\n

The TNCSC is a vital part of the food security system in Tamil Nadu. It plays a key role in ensuring that the people of the state have access to essential commodities at affordable prices.<\/p>\n

The other options are incorrect.<\/p>\n
