Question :Name any two steps taken by India to strengthen the food security.

The correct answer is -Here are two steps taken by India to strengthen food security:

1. National Food Security Act (NFSA): India passed the NFSA in 2013 to provide subsidized food grains to approximately two-thirds of its population. Under the act, the government provides 5 kg of subsidized food grains per person per month to eligible households, at a highly subsidized price.

2. Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN): In 2019, India launched the PM-KISAN scheme to provide direct income support to small and marginal farmers. Under the scheme, eligible farmers receive Rs. 6,000 per year in three equal installments, deposited directly into their bank accounts. This helps to support farmers’ income and improve their access to food.
