Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B

Aims to ensure the availability of food to all

C

Aims to provide food grains at subsidised rates

Food security is the availability of sufficient food for everyone at an affordable rate for a healthy life. Food Security Bill, passed by the Lok Sabha, aims to ensure the distribution of food grains at a lower rate, making it available to all. This bill does not force farmers to sell their produce at a lower rate. It aims at farmer welfare along with providing food at lower rates to the poor.
