Hint: Antyodaya Anna Yojana is a government-sponsored program to provide heavily subsidized food to millions of the poorest families. This program was developed by the then Minister of Food and Civil Supplies Minister, Shanta Kumar.

Complete step by step answer:
Antyodaya Anna Yojana was founded by the NDA government on 25 December 2000 and implemented for the first time in states and territories in India. After voting for the "poorest of the poor" (10 million poorest families in the "poverty line" category), the government gave them the opportunity to buy up to 35 kilograms of rice and wheat at a heavily subsidized rupee price. per kilogram of rice and 2 rupees per kilogram of wheat. Poor families are identified through surveys by government agencies related to rural development. This system was updated twice, once in June 2003 and then in August 2004, each time an additional 5,000,000 families with BPL were added and the total number of insured families reached 20,000,000. Then in 2003, 50 more paint families were added. Once a family is confirmed as qualified, they will receive a unique "Antyodaya Ration Card". This card is also called a PDS yellow card, as a form of identification to prove that the holder has the right to receive the ration level described in the card. The color of the card is yellow.
So, the correct answer is Option A.
