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 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.

Download or read book Deliverance from Hunger written by K R Venugopal and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1992-12-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inadequate access to foodgrains has resulted in the poor of India often not having enough to eat--despite the fact that the country is producing enough foodgrains to sustain its entire population. Have policy makers failed those they are supposed to serve? Why does this inequitable situation exist and how can it be remedied? In this timely and thought-provoking study, Venugopal explores the inequities of food distribution and suggests remedies for correcting it. Among his findings, the author finds that those states that did not produce enough foodgrains were better at providing food for the the poor than those states with a surplus. Even those states that receive subsidies from the Union Government through the Public Distribution System (PDS), are not without problems of inefficiency and inequity. Venugopal argues that a major support strategy could be a well managed rural public distribution system, supervised by the people themselves with the involvement of voluntary organizations. "The book provides insights to policy makers and planners to redefine and reorient development strategies to eradicate poverty and hunger. It is a rare piece of contribution since it is written, particularly, by a civil servant, who is generally termed as 'status and power oriented' rather than 'problem oriented'. The book will be of immense use for researchers and practitioners who have interest in studies like this." --Deccan Herald
