Question
What is the role of the Food Corporation of India (FCI)
in the implementation of the NFSA? Read the passage below and answer the following questions based on the passage ( Q no 11 to 14) Food security in India remains a pressing issue despite significant advancements in the country’s economic and agricultural sectors. It is defined as the availability, accessibility, and affordability of nutritious food for every individual. For a nation with over 1.4 billion people, ensuring that all citizens have access to sufficient and healthy food presents a complex challenge. One of the primary hurdles in achieving food security in India is the rapid population growth, which continuously increases the demand for food. Although India is one of the largest producers of grains, fruits, and vegetables globally, the distribution of these resources is uneven. This inequality leads to a situation where many parts of the country face hunger and malnutrition, while others have food surpluses. Agricultural productivity in India is also hampered by several factors. Many farmers still rely on traditional methods of farming, often using outdated tools and practices. Additionally, fragmented landholdings and a lack of access to modern irrigation systems reduce crop yields. The impact of climate change exacerbates these issues further, with unpredictable weather patterns, such as erratic monsoons, floods, and droughts, severely affecting crop production. As a result, the availability of essential food items fluctuates, making food security vulnerable to external pressures.Solution
The FCI plays a crucial role in the procurement, storage, and distribution of food grains under the NFSA.
