Public Distribution system is one of the strategies to eradicate the poverty in India. The
eradication of poverty is the main slogan of the 10th five year plan. In India even after
half a century of independence still 26% of total population is living below poverty line
(BPL group). Therefore in the Indian development strategies the thrust was focused to
eliminate poverty. In the direction of poverty alleviation the PDS is one of the
instruments in India’s development processes. The main purpose of PDS was to act as
price supporting programmes for the consumers during the periods of food shortage of
the 1960.
