Answer 2

Hey Mate!!!!

PDS stands for Public Distribution System

The central and state governments share responsibilities to provide food grains to the BPL. The centre procures food grains from farmers at MSP and sells it to states at central issue prices.

Those families with white ration cards and whose annual income is more than 1 lakh are excluded from the benefits of the Public Distribution System.
