\nThe National Food Security Act (NFSA) was enacted in 2013 with the objective of providing highly subsidised food grains to approximately two-thirds of India’s population. While the rollout was phased across states and union territories, by 2019-20, the Act was indeed being implemented in all States and Union Territories.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement A is correct; the Act was enacted in 2013. Statement C is correct; it legally entitles about 67 percent of the population to receive subsidised food grains. Statement B, claiming it was rolled out in 2014, is partially correct in that implementation began in some states, but the full nationwide rollout was not completed in 2014. However, statement D, which says “The Act is not being implemented in all the States\/Union Territories” (as of 2019-20 context), is factually incorrect. By 2016, the vast majority of states and UTs had implemented the Act, and by 2019, it was universally implemented.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe phased implementation meant that different states\/UTs notified and started implementing the Act at different times after its enactment in 2013. While not all states had completed implementation immediately in 2014, by the period 2019-20, implementation was universal. Therefore, statement D is the false statement.
