Might allegedly prove to be a disaster within one year of its
functioning especially for small farmers.
ISSUES WITH PDS:
Food procurement is primarily meant for wheat and rice.
Barely 55 per cent of the crop produced gets procured.
Lower in the case of rice, as better quality rice (like basmati) gets
exported, or sold in the open market. But a lot (around 40 per cent) of
procurement grade rice too is not picked up by government agencies.
Poor and remotely located farmers are often left out, thus compelled
to sell their produce at distress prices.
But why?Because, there isnt enough money and the
procurement agencies stop when they have reached
their quota for a specific area.
And because the government has only 63 mn.t of
storage capacity. This includes open storage with
tarpaulin covers as well.

The poor farmer would prefer to purchase his food requirement from
the public distribution system (PDS) at Rs3 (or less) per kg.
This would allow him to sell his own grains at the support price (Rs12-
13/kg) and get his food at Rs3.
procurement agencies will ignore him, as in the past.
distress prices will be more heart-breaking
open market prices will hover at around Rs7-8, compelling the farmer
to sell at a whopping 50 per cent discount to procurement prices.
will leave small farmers poorer than before.
So what is the solution
One, procuring the entire produce at support
prices.
Two, ensure that storage capacities are rampedup.
If both are not done, the country will see a more
devastated small farmer, and more wastage of grain
than ever before.

"It is time to send out a big message that India can take
responsibility of ensuring food security for all Indians, our goal is to
wipe out hunger and malnutrition all over the country," Sonia
Gandhi said about her pet agenda.
"Now the big issue before us is, what is the responsibility of
government towards these people who are less fortunate than
others. It is not their fault but they still live with the curse of hunger
and malnutrition," she said. "T "This approach, I believe,

"The bill says adequate nutrition. But what is the meaning of 'adequate'? This
bill says household. Does it also include those households where a single
member lives? The bill says ready to eat food, nutritional food and fortified
food. Where will all of this come from? Where will you get protein from if you
made no provision for Dal? Will you give them chicken soup?" MMJquestioned.
Bill could be brought only after the BPL census was completed. "There is no
mention in the Bill... You don't have any figure. You are only going by
assumptions," Yadav (spokes person for Samajwadi Party ) said
Arun Jaitley ,leader of opposition in rajya sabha said the bill was a mere
