CRITICISM OF PDS☺❤
# 1. Dislocation:
Firstly, it is wrong to believe that once a fair price shop is set up, the common man’s requirements of consumer goods are met at reasonable prices.
# 2. Poor Quality:
Secondly, the poor quality of commodities supplied seems to be the proximate cause of poor off-take of commodities like wheat and rice in urban areas. Easy availability in the open market also tends to reduce the quantity of purchase from the PDS.
# 3. Poor Image:
Moreover, the image of fair price shops, as a distributor of quality goods, is poor. The general impression of the people is that sub-standard goods are being sold through fair price shops.
# 4. Lack of Integrated Approach:
An efficient PDS requires strong link among production, procurement, transportation, storage and distribution of the selected commodities. In the past, responsibilities for these have been divided among many people and, thus, there has been a lack of an integrated system or an integrated approach which alone could ensure an efficient PDS.
# 5. Lack of Profit Margin:
Low profit margin turned out to be the major complaint of fair price shop-owners. Most of the shopkeepers have to go to warehouses more than once to take delivery of their allotted quotas.
