India's National Food Security Act (NFSA) intends to supply subsidized food grains to two-thirds of the country's 1.25 billion people. The passage of this Act in 2013 marked a major paradigm shift in the fight against food insecurity, from a welfare-based to a rights-based strategy. The purpose of this presentation is to examine the impact of the National Food Security Act (NFSA) on food security outcomes in India. Using a food security measurement methodology, it seeks to investigate the origins of the right to food rhetoric as well as the elements that contribute to perennial failure in food security outcomes. The talk then shifts its focus to the ongoing failure to address childhood malnutrition. The influence of the NFSA on India's food security outcome indicators is detailed in this presentation. The presentation suggests that, in order to ensure the nutritional security of Indians, governments must look beyond subsidized food grain aid.

Aadhar Enabled Public Distribution System (AEPDS), Beneficiary Survey and Ass...CSEIJJournal
Public Distribution System (PDS) has evolved as a system of managing scarcity through distribution of
food grains at affordable prices. In 2015, Aadhar enabled Public Distribution System (AePDS) made
linking AADHAR cards of the beneficiaries to the Ration Cards mandatory enabling the Fair Price Shops
to use biometrics to authenticate the beneficiaries improving efficiency and transparency of the system. The
study aims to access the application of AePDS at) w.r.t service provided to the beneficiaries, challenges
and benefits of the system; infrastructure adopted for efficient implementation for the process of grains
distribution in the context of Raigad District in Mumbai Metro Politian Region. A strategic framework and
scoring system were developed to assess the system based on literature studies, analysis of existing
scenario and structured stakeholder surveys conducted in the Raigad District. Hence, on the basis of the
responses scoring was done, reasons were noted and recommendations were given for the challenges.

7. PublicDistributionSystem (PDS)
Definition: Public distribution system is a government-
sponsored chain of shops (Fair price shops) entrusted
with the work of distributing basic food and non-food
commodities to the needy sections of the society at
very cheap prices.
PDS is a national food security system that distributes
subsidized food to India’s poor.
It means distribution of essential commodities to a
large number of people through a network of Fair Price
Shops (FPS) on recurring basis.
7
8. Objectives
Providing food grains and other essential items to
vulnerable sections of the society at reasonable
prices
To put an indirect check on the open market prices
of various items.
To attempt socialization in the matter of
distribution of essential commodities.

9. Historical Aspects of PDS
9
• Till 1992, PDS was a general entitlement scheme for all
consumers without any specific target.
• But in 1992, PDS became RPDS (Revamped Public
Distribution System) focusing the poor families,
especially in the far-flung, hilly, remote and inaccessible
areas.
• In 1997, RPDS became TPDS (Targeted Public
Distribution System) which established Fair Price
Shops for the distribution of food grains at subsidized
rates.

18. • All incoming grains accepted even if buffer stock
is filled creating a shortage in the open market.
• The gap between required and existing storage
capacity & also rotting or damaging of food
grains during storage.
• Leakage and diversion of food grains during
transportation & also poor transportation system.
• Incorrect identification of beneficiaries(BPL
families).
• The shop owners have created a large number of
bogus cards or ghost cards (cards for nonexistent
people) to sell food grains in the open market.
• Inadequate food grains at Fair Price Shop.

19. Diversion of Food Grains
19
At the All India level, diversion of PDS grains
remains a serious issue.
Average diversion is 54% during 2018-19
Bihar, Utter Pradesh, Assam, and Rajasthan 85-
90%
Jharkhand- 47%
Orissa- 30%
(PDS survey, June 2019) Contd.....
20. Wastage of Food Stock
20
Huge amount wasted during storage.
Spoiled by rodents, insect and moisture.
Nearly 0.5 Mt of wheat and 4 Mt of rice
spoiled annually.
Deceitful dealers replace the food stock with
inferior stock.
Supplies are not able to meet the demand of food.
24. Reforms
Introducing IT in present PDS
National Information Utility (NIU) resource
Token-agnostic technology solution
Using Aadhar for PDS enrolment
Use of smart cards
Direct transfer of subsidies
24
25. • Aadhaar Linked and digitized ration cards: This
allows online entry and verification of beneficiary data. It
also enables online tracking of monthly entitlements and
off-take of food grains by beneficiaries.
• Computerized Fair Price Shops: FPS automated by
installing ‘Point of Sale’ device to swap the ration card. It
authenticates the beneficiaries and records the quantity of
subsidized grains given to a family.
• Use of GPS technology: Use of Global Positioning
System (GPS) technology to track the movement of trucks
carrying food grains from state depots to FPS which can
help to prevent diversion.
25
26. • SMS-based monitoring: Allows monitoring by
citizens so they can register their mobile numbers and
send/receive SMS alerts during dispatch and arrival
of TPDS commodities.
• Use of web-based citizen’s portal: Public Grievance
Redressal Machineries, such as a toll-free number for
call centers to register complaints or suggestions.
• DBT: Under the Direct Benefit Transfer scheme,
cash is transferred to the beneficiaries’ account
instead of food grains as subsidy component. They
will be free to buy food grains from anywhere in the
market.
