Correct Answer: Assertion (A) is False but Reason (R) is True


Solution : The national food for work initiative tries to combine food security with additional supplemental pay jobs. The ministry for rural development introduced this program in 2004. This program's goal is to provide low-skilled jobs to underprivileged Indians in order to ensure food security.
A rural household whose adult members volunteer to perform unskilled manual labor is entitled to 100 days of paid employment per fiscal year under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act of 2005 (NREGA). The projected job will reserve one-third of its positions for women under this plan.
Hence d is the correct answer.
