Which of the following is NOT an essential component of National Food Security Act 2013 in India?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Crop diversification and use of High Yield Variety seeds
The National Food Security Act, 2013 is an entitlement law. It delivers subsidised grain through the Targeted Public Distribution System and gives nutritional support to children and to pregnant and lactating women through the Mid Day Meal Scheme and the Integrated Child Development Services.
Crop diversification and high yielding varieties are production-side agricultural strategies. They matter for food availability, but they form no part of the entitlements created by the Act.
