Identify the INCORRECT statement about Public Distribution System (PDS) in India. |
From 1997, PDS became TPDS for targeted consumers. PDS was envisaged in 1967 as a price support programme to help consumers. Those living below poverty line get food grains at subsidised prices. PDS has been abandoned in the country since 2007. |
PDS has been abandoned in the country since 2007. |
The correct answer is Option (4) → PDS has been abandoned in the country since 2007. The incorrect statement about the Public Distribution System (PDS) in India is: "PDS has been abandoned in the country since 2007." This statement is incorrect because the Public Distribution System (PDS) continues to operate in India as a crucial mechanism for distributing essential food grains to targeted beneficiaries, especially those living below the poverty line, at subsidized prices. |
