why is the pubilc bistribution system criticized
Answers
Hey !!
Here's your answer !!
It refers to the distribution of grains at subsidised prices to the people. The items under the public distribution system include wheat , rice , kerosene and sugar. The government distributes the items through the shops it establishes, called the FPS( fair price shops ). There are different distribution mechanisms used under the scheme. These are based on the categorisation of people below and above poverty line. For eg , people BPL are entitled to 35 kg of rice every month while APL are entitled to 15 kg of the same. The PDS as a system is a progressive step in addressing the poverty and malnutrition problems in India. It is also a good example of cooperative federalism where centre and the states work in sync to make the grains available. However, certain loopholes in the pds and the procurement prior to the distribution, need to be addressed. What also needs to be kept in mind are the ‘ limits ‘ set by the WTO for procurement. A regulatory body for procurement and distribution is the need of the hour. Other steps like Food Stamps are on trial and will help in increasing the efficiency of the PDS system.
