Solution

2004

Explanation:

The national food for work programme targeted 150 of the most backward districts in drought-affected states with the main objective to generate supplementary wage employment while ensuring food security. This programme was part of the government’s effort to provide additional wage employment to vulnerable populations, combining food assistance with income generation opportunities, thus addressing poverty and food insecurity simultaneously.
