Distribution System (PDS) in India has grown from an emergency and temporary war measure
of Rationing to a deliberate social policy instrument today. The first part of the book
has traced the evolution of PDS, the concept of food security and availability of food
grains, the global situation regarding food security etc. The next part deals with a field
survey carried out by the author in U.P. and the last part discusses various aspects of
targeting the PDS, suggestions for rationalizing food grains allocation and implications
of food subsidy. The author N.P. Nawani is a senior civil servant and has studied the PDS in depth. |
