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?

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. The National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA) provides for subsidised food grains to Priority Households (PHH) and Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) families, covering a large section of the population. Eligibility is not restricted only to families identified as 'below poverty line (BPL)'. 2. Statement 2 is correct. Section 13 of the NFSA, 2013 mandates that the eldest woman in an eligible household, who is 18 years or above, shall be considered the head of the household for the purpose of issuance of a ration card. 3. Statement 3 is incorrect. Under the NFSA, pregnant women and lactating mothers are entitled to nutritional support, typically provided through ICDS as a take-home ration. However, the prescribed nutritional norm is generally around 600 calories and 18-20g protein per day, not 1600 calories.
