HEY FRND HERE IS UR ANSWER ☺️☺️☺️
Public distribution system in India represents a direct intervention by the government in the food market. It involves subsidised distribution of limited quantities of essential goods such as cereals, sugar, edible oils, etc. Distribution of cereals assumes great importance as it is supposed to provide food security to the poor. The Department of Food and Public Distribution is responsible for the management of food supply in the country.


It is directly concerned with the various activities related to food supplies. It undertakes such works as the storage, movement and delivery of the foodgrains to the distributing agencies. The department ensures the adequate availability of foodgrains at reasonable prices in different parts of the country.

The public distribution system in India was started in early 1970s with an objective to make foodgrains and other necessary food items available to the economically weaker sections of the society at reasonable rates. Under the present system it is responsibility of the Central and State governments to ensure smooth flow of foodgrains and other commodities to consumers. The Food Corporation of India (FCI), on behalf of the Central Government procures transports and stocks the grains in the central godowns (owned or hired).
