Download or read book An Overview of the Public Distribution System written by Tarumoy Chaudhuri and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Availability of food grains is a necessary but not passable condition to ensure food security to the poor. In addition to food availability, it is necessary that food accessibility is also ensured to the poor households. This can be done either by raising the level of incomes of these poor households or by providing them food grains at subsidized prices. Public Distribution System (PDS) is a way to ensure accessibility of food grains to these poor households. Public Distribution System (PDS) means distribution of essential commodities to a large number of people through a network of Fair Price Shops (FPS) on a recurring basis. In India, PDS evolved as a major instrument of the Government's economic policy for ensuring availability of foodgrains to the public at affordable prices as well as for enhancing the food security for the poor. It is an important constituent of the strategy for poverty eradication and is intended to serve as a safety net for the poor. PDS is operated under the joint responsibility of the Central and the State Governments. The Central Government has taken the responsibility for procurement, storage, transportation and bulk allocation of foodgrains, etc. The responsibility for distributing the same to the consumers through the network of Fair Price Shops (FPS) rests with the State Governments. The operational responsibilities including allocation within the State, identification of families below poverty line, issue of ration cards, supervision and monitoring the functioning of FPS rest with the State Governments. The present project will try to give an overview of the PDS system as it existed in the country. It would also look into the new system of Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) as has been introduced recently. The project would firstly outline the present poverty situation and the agricultural sector in India and then proceed to look at the effect of the PDS on the Indian economy as a whole. An effort will also be made to estimate the future benefits or losses that PDS might have on the Indian economy as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tyagi starts from the premise that, although India has achieved virtual self-sufficiency in the production of food grains, existing policies have failed to assure renumerative prices to farmers or protect the interests of the vulnerable sections of society. Faced with this failure, he asks whether free trade in food grains could provide a way out of this impasse. After surveying food policies in other Asian countries, he proposes various alternatives which could reduce government intervention and subsidy without adversely affecting the major goals of India′s food policy.

Download or read book Weakening Welfare written by Madhura Swaminathan and published by Leftword. This book was released on 2000 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weakening Welfare is a powerful argument for expanding and strengthening the public distribution system (PDS) in a country where hunger, poverty and malnutrition are as endemic as in India. The reigning orthodoxy of structural adjustment, however, preaches exactly the opposite. This book is a sharp indictment of food policies of the liberalization era. It demonstrates how these policies will worsen food and nutrition security among the vast majority of the Indian people. Looking at the effects of targeting of food subsidies on other countries, it marshals arguments in favour of making PDS universal. There is little doubt that PDS, as it functions today, has failed by and large to provide nutritional support to the people and requires genuine reform. The exception is Kerala, the only state in India where PDS has been near universal. This book discusses alternative proposals for making PDS an effective measure of food security. Written in a lucid, non-technical style, the book presents a wealth of recent data that will be as handy for the expert as for the interested layperson.

Download or read book Changing World Economic Order in the Post Pandemic Period written by Mahapatra, Sushanta Kumar and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-06-02 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post COVID-19, the world will never be the same. The pandemic not only shattered many assumptions about economic developments and growth, but it also challenged our preparedness to face any unpredictable challenge as a human civilization in an era where science and technology is at its peak. To suppress the spread of COVID-19, many countries resorted to partial or full closure of their borders and restricted the movement of people. Mandatory quarantine restricted labor mobility and workplace closure, which later converted into supply shocks in the economy, as these measures impaired the economy’s production capacity, disrupting supplies. This later spilled over to the demand side as people were locked down in their homes and workers were laid off and lost income. This disruption posed many new challenges for policymakers to formulate appropriate macroeconomic policy responses and also provided them the opportunity to ponder upon the preparedness of countries in terms of health facilities, appropriately compensating human resources, how to cushion immediate and severe economic shocks, and how to maintain the livelihood of the society as a whole. Changing World Economic Order in the Post-Pandemic Period provides scientific knowledge of the current economic scenarios across the globe with a comprehensive overview of the pandemic and regional initiatives, trends of trade and development, and approaches to overcome obstacles of globalization and the impacts on global trade and economic development in light of the pandemic. The chapters present tangible solutions and attainable perspectives for fighting a battle against the pandemic while keeping the morale of the people and economy high. Highlighted topics include post-pandemic economic development, public policy in emergency situations, socio-economic impacts on enterprises, risk governance, and impacts of COVID-19. This book is ideally intended for university students, researchers, policymakers, economic actors, economists, practitioners, stakeholders, government officials, academicians, and anyone interested in the impact of a pandemic on the global economy and how to deal with such issues in the future.
Download or read book Performance of Public Distribution System as a Food Security Measure written by Rajat Jyoti Sarkar and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the developing and less developed countries Government undertakes various kinds of economic activities. One of these activities is to provide food to the poor and vulnerable section of the society. In India Public Distribution System is the most important and most popular food security measure. Under this system the Government provides essential food grains and other commodities at a very subsidized rate. Today this policy is an important facet of food management operations of a number of developing countries. But in the recent years the effectiveness of Public Distribution System is often questioned because of its potential impact on the consumption level of the consumer target group, its impact on other sectors of the economy, its cost, and its compatibility with a direct income transfer instead of price subsidies. So based on sample survey here we try to analyze the effectiveness of Public Distribution System as a food security measure in the Burdwan District of West Bengal, India. So this study tries to examine how much food is secured for the B.P.L families in the Burdwan District of West Bengal, India for maintaining their health at a reasonable level.
Download or read book The Impacts of Reforms to the Public Distribution System in India s Chhattisgarh on Food Security written by United States Department of Agriculture and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a rapidly growing developing country, India has a larger food-insecure population than all of Sub-Saharan Africa. Given the prevalence of chronic malnutrition, the Government of India spent nearly 1 percent of the gross domestic product in the past year on the Public Distribution System (PDS), its system of subsidies for food grains and other essential commodities. Despite the importance of effective food aid in the country, a large share of PDS food grains do not reach their intended beneficiaries. However, the Indian State of Chhattisgarh instituted a number of PDS reforms in the early and mid-2000s in an effort to improve the distribution of PDS food grains. We find that both PDS consumption and food security improved in response to the reforms.
Download or read book Transforming Food Systems for a Rising India written by Prabhu Pingali and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.
