Answer 2

Public Distribution System in the country facilitates the supply of food grains to the needy at a subsidized rate.

The Limitations Of The Public Distribution System Are:-

• a. Scarce advantages to the poor: Under the Public Distribution System, food grains are delivered to only the Nation Card holders. Seasonal settler labour and stray people do not get this advantage as they do not have a stable residential address.
• b. Local disparities: A large amount of BPL families in the less progressive states do not serve the advantages of the Public Distribution System
• c. Urban preference: The transport network in the villages is not fruitful. As an outcome, food grains and Kerosene are not accessible in the fair-price stores in the villages.
• d. Ineffective Food Corporation of India (FCI): The FCI is ineffective. The additional stock of food grains is not stocked appropriately in the godowns of FCI. There is a shortage of food grains, in spite of the gain in the production of food grains.
