Food Security
- If any part of the population does not have access to food, then it is regarded as a failure of food security. In India, remote areas are highly prone to natural disasters and uncertainty in food supply.
- The government has designed a national food security system that is composed of two components- buffer stock and public distribution system (PDS)
- Food Corporation of India (FCI) looks after the procurement and stocking of food grains while PDS is responsible for distribution.
- The FCI procures food grains from farmers at the minimum support price (MSP) declared by the government. The PDS is responsible for supplying these food grains at subsidized rates in rural and urban areas.
