Hey friend,

here is ur answer,



Food purchased by the Food Corporation of India is distributed among the poor sections of society in a controlled way through ration shops. This system is known as the public distribution system. PDS is the most important system taken by the government of India towards ensuring food security. Over the years the PDS has been revised and it become more efficient in the recent times with the following measures:

Revamped Public Distribution System (RPDS) was introduced in 1992 in 1700 blocks in the country. The scheme aimed at the provision of food grains in the remote and backward areas of the country.

Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) was launched in 1997 which targeted the policy of providing food grains to all poor sections of people in different areas. Under this system, a different price policy was adopted for poor and non-poor people.

Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) was introduced in 2000. About ten million of the poorest people were identified, and highly subsidised food grains were provided to them at highly subsidised prices.

Annapurna Scheme (APS) was introduced in 2000 for the poorest of poor and destitute senior citizens. Through this scheme, it was decided to provide 10 kg of food grains to poor families per month free of cost.
