With reference to the provisions made under the National Food Security Act, 2013, consider the following statements : 1. The families coming under the category of 'below poverty line (BPL)' only are eligible to receive subsidised food grains. 2. The eldest woman in a household, of age 18 years or above, shall be the head of the household for the purpose of issuance of a ration card. 3. Pregnant women and lactating mothers are entitled to a 'take-home ration' of 1600 calories per day during pregnancy and for six months thereafter. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 2 is correct because Section 13 of the NFSA 2013 mandates that the eldest woman aged 18 or above be designated as the head of the household for issuing ration cards to promote women empowerment. Statement 1 is incorrect as the Act covers 75% of rural and 50% of urban populations under "Priority Households" rather than just BPL families, while Statement 3 is wrong because the nutritional entitlement for pregnant women is 600 calories per day, not 1600. The core concept tested is the specific beneficiary eligibility and institutional reforms introduced by the National Food Security Act, 2013.
