$\huge\tt {FOOD\:SECURITY\: :-}$

It is the availability, affordability and accessibility of the food to all the people anytime.

Food security is necessary for two reasons :-

• To provide food at affordable price to the poorest of poor
• To not feel food insecueed during a natural calamity

The Buffer stock, Minimum support price, Issue price and Public distribution system are the four main components of food security in India.

THE BUFFER STOCK is the stock of food grains mainly wheat and rice procured by government of India through Food Corporation of India.

MINIMUM SUPPORT PRICE is the pre announced price of the food grains. On this price the Food Corporation of India purchases the food grains from the farmers if they are produced in surplus amount.

ISSUE PRICE is a price lower than the market price for the food grains so the people in the poorest strata of the society could buy the food grains.

PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM is a system in which the Food Corporation of India the food grains to the poorest strata people of the society at issue price through ration shops or fair price shops. For this ration cards are used.

There are 3 kinds of ration cards:-

Antyodaya card - for poorest of poor

BPL card - for those below poverty line

APL card - for those above poverty line
