The correct statement is:
Under the Targeted Public Distribution System, the families Below Poverty Line are provided 50 kg of foodgrains per month per family at subsidized price.
This statement is incorrect. Under the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS), the eligible families Below Poverty Line (BPL) are provided 5 kg of foodgrains per person per month at subsidized prices, not 50 kg per family.
Therefore, the statement "Under the Targeted Public Distribution System, the families Below Poverty Line are provided 50 kg of foodgrains per month per family at subsidized price" is not correct.
