Question

The PDS has faced serve criticism on several grounds. Explain any five points.

Answer 1

hEyA here u go....

The criticism of PDS in India r :-

1.) failed to remove hunger
=> the PDS has been working for many years but still hunger is prevailing in Indian society.

2.) overflowing goods
=> The FCI godowns r overflowing with food grains. In 2002 the stock of wheat and rice was 63 million tonnes which was much more than the minimum stock. There is a general census that high level of buffer stock of food grains is very undesirable and can be wasteful.

3.) poor food grain quality
=> As most of the godowns have more stock than their capacity this leads to deterioration in grain quality.

4.) Adverse impact on environment
=> due to incentive by the gov most of the states r producing only rice and wheat. The intensive utilization of water in the cultivation of rice has led to environmental degradation and fall in the water level, threatening the sustainability of agricultural development in many states.

Yeah ! Public distribution system ( PDS) faced serve criticism on several grounds...

Reason :-

• The amount of the grains are not given to the consumers directly what is decided.

• The mediators consume themselves and gave nothing to the consumers..

• PDS leads to the insecure of food to the poor section in case when govt has not food stores...
