Q1With reference to the National Food Security Act, 2013, consider the following statements: 1. It provides coverage of up to 75% of the rural population and up to 50% of the urban population. 2. Every person in a priority household is entitled to 5 kg of foodgrains per month. 3. Every person in an Antyodaya Anna Yojana household is entitled to 35 kg of foodgrains per month. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The priority-household entitlement is per person. Statement 3 confuses the unit of entitlement: an Antyodaya Anna Yojana household receives 35 kg per household per month, not 35 kg per person.
Q2Consider the following statements about the right-to-food framework in India: 1. Article 47 is a Directive Principle concerning nutrition and public health. 2. The National Food Security Act inserted a separately worded Fundamental Right to food into the Constitution. Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statement 1 is correct: Article 47 is a Directive Principle on nutrition and public health. Statement 2 is incorrect. The Constitution does not contain a separately worded Fundamental Right to food, and the National Food Security Act is a statute creating legal entitlements rather than a constitutional amendment.
