National Food Security Mission MCQ — 2 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The National Food Security Mission was launched in Rajasthan in 2007-2008 for crops including wheat and pulses. For this item, the accepted funding pattern between the Government of India and the Government of Rajasthan is 60 : 40. A 50 : 50 split would mean equal sharing, which is not the key pattern here. The 70 : 30 and 80 : 20 shares would place a larger burden on the central side than the officially keyed ratio. Therefore, 60 : 40 is retained.

Explanation

The National Food Security Mission was introduced to raise the production of rice, wheat and pulses through area expansion and productivity improvement. In Rajasthan, the wheat and pulses components were launched in 2007-08, which matches the published key. The year 2006-07 predates the state-level launch asked here. The years 2008-09 and 2009-10 are later years and do not fit the initial rollout of the wheat and pulses components in Rajasthan.
