    Problems identified: While conducting the survey in interactiongeneral, the public distribution
    system has following limitations. Identification of poor by the states is not fool proof. A large number

    of poor and needy persons are left out and a lot of fake cards are also issued. Fair Price Shop owner gets fake
    Ration cards and sell the food grains in the open market. The Public distribution system (PDS) is an Indian
    food Security System established under. the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food, and Public
    Distribution. ▪ PDS evolved as a system of management of scarcity through the distribution of food grains at.
    affordable prices.

    Methodology The Public Distribution System (PDS) evolved as a system of
    management of scarcity through distribution of foodgrains at affordable prices.
    Over the years, PDS has become an important part of Government's policy for
    management of food economy in the countryThe basic objective of the public distribution system
    in India is to provide essential consumer goods at cheap and subsidised prices to the consumers so as to insulate
    them from the impact of rising prices of these commodities and maintain the minimum nutritional status of our
    population..

    Implementation: As part of implementation, Under the PDS, presently the commodities


    namely wheat, rice, sugar and kerosene are being allocated to the States/UTs for
    distribution. Some States/UTs also distribute additional items of mass consumption
    through the PDS outlets such as pulses, edible oils, iodized salt, spices, etc. PDS ensures
    Food and Nutritional Securityof the nation by making the food affordable, accessible and available to the
    poorest of the poor. PDS helps to maintain a buffer stock of food grainsensuring flow of food remain active
    even during the periods of crisis. Abstract. Public distribution system in India, a government created system
    intended to ensure food security and supply of other essentials to the rural poor has failed to protect the interests
    of the poor. The failure has been primarily due to corruption in the system.03-Dec-2012

    Problems in public distribution system

     Low offtake of food grains from each household.

     High leakage and diversion of subsidised food grain.

     Adulteration of food grain.


     Lack of viability of FPS due to low margins.

    Public distribution system includes only few food grains such as wheat and rice, it does not fulfil the
    requirement of complete nutrition. Fair Price Shop owner gets fake Ration cards and sell the food grains in
    the open marketvarious problems such as corruption, diversion of commodities, inclusion of people above
    the poverty line and exclusion of the desired candidates and wastage of supplies. Leakage of food grains:
    (Transportation leakages + Black Marketing by FPS owners) TPDS suffers from large leakages of food grains
    during transportation to and from ration shops into the open market.12-Aug-2019Public Distribution System
    (PDS) is a government regulated chain of ration shops entrusted with the work of distributing basic food
    and non-food commodities to the poorer sections of the society at subsidised prices. Wheat, rice, kerosene,
    sugar, etc.
    Advantages of public distribution system

     It provides food security to poor people of India.


     It helps in alleviating the poverty level of India.
     It ensures that no person dies because of hunger.

     It helps in stabilizing food prices.

     It ensures the availability of food at affordable and subsidized rates.


    implemented under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013 in all States/UTs. The Act provides for
    coverage of upto 75% of the rural population and upto 50% of the urban population for receiving
    foodgrains (rice, wheat & coarsegrains) at highly subsidized rates i.e. the uses of public distribution
    system?

    To protect the low income groups by guaranteeing the supply of certain minimum quantities of food
    grains at affordable price. Ensuring equitable distribution. Controlling the price rise of Essential
    Commodities in the open market. To attempt socialisation in the matter of distribution of essential
    commodities. Under the PDS scheme, each family below the poverty line is eligible for 35 kg of rice or wheat
    every month, while a household above the poverty line is entitled to 15 kg of foodgrain on a monthly basis,
    remdeemable with a card.
    Conclusion:

    The PDS is a cornerstone of government policy responding to nutrition and food


    security. However, it is riddled with inefficiencies that decrease its capacity to
    effectively distribute food to those in need.03-Sept-2019Now the Public Distribution System
    (PDS) is the key element of the Government's food security system in India. It is an instrument for ensuring
    availability of certain essential commodities at easily affordable prices especially for the poor. Public
    Distribution System (PDS) of India plays a crucial role in reducing food insecurity by acting as a safety net
    by distributing essentials at a subsidised rate.03-Sept-2019
