Option 1 : Odisha

The correct answer is ‘Odisha’

As per the inaugural state ranking index for NFSA implementation, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh lead the nation in implementing the crucial National Food Security Act (NFSA).
The new rankings were launched by the Department of Food & Public Distribution (DFPD) at the national conference of food ministers of states and union territories on Food and Nutrition Security of India.
Some states and union territories significantly lag others in terms of the coverage, beneficiary satisfaction, digitization, and overall system efficiency of their Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS).
Among the special category states (the North-Eastern states, Himalayan states, and the Island states), Tripura, Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim obtained the top positions.
Gujarat and the union territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman Diu formed the rest of the top 5.
Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Jharkhand completed the top 10 states in the rankings.
Goa came last among major states, while Ladakh was the worst performer among union territories.
The NFSA ensures food security for two-thirds of India’s population.
It distributes highly subsidized food-grains every month to nearly 80 crore people but remains far from uniform in the country.
The state ranking index aims to benchmark the implementation of the country’s food security measures at a state level.
