1) The FSB will cover 67 percent of the population.

2) Warehousing reforms can fix the rot.

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.


14/18

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,

is bringing about anempowerment revolutionin our country ? something

we are proud to havefacilitated," is approach, Ibelieve, is bringing about

an empowermentrevolution in our country ?

something we are proud to

have facilitated,"

"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

Repackaging of exsiting schemes in different states and criticised the Hurry

to push through the legislation.

Aaeys!!

This a terrible policy in the

long run. The irresponsible populism

An attempt to fool theelectorate before theelections

It could lead to significant

sections being excluded fromthe classification ofbeneficiaries.
