Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
CACP recommended MSP for 22–23 crops in 2009, not 32; and the National Food Security Mission was launched in 2007-08 by the Ministry of Agriculture, not by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution. Hence neither statement is correct. ([scribd.com](https://www.scribd.com/document/880887836/Economy-GC?utm_source=openai))
