The Food and Nutrition Board actually works under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of India.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare in India is responsible for various aspects related to public health, healthcare delivery, and family welfare programs. The Food and Nutrition Board, which operates under the ministry, is primarily involved in formulating and implementing policies and programs related to food and nutrition. Its focus is on addressing issues related to malnutrition, promoting proper nutrition, and improving the overall health and well-being of the population.

The board plays a crucial role in coordinating and implementing various national-level programs, such as the National Nutrition Mission and the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, which aim to address the nutritional needs of vulnerable populations, especially women and children.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The Food and Nutrition Board works under this ministry.
