Food Security Bill- What I Understood
Food Security bill is the new move by the central government to make the Public Distribution System more effective. Presently, the distribution of commodities to BPL card holders is going on in a more or less straightforward manner. This is convinced by the steady decrease in the number of persons below poverty line. But a lot of provisions aimed to the APL people are wasted, hoarded or black marketed just because the people are unsure as to what exactly their provisions are, and in what quantities. Ration shop owners make profit by retaining these commodities and selling them of to other shops. Such practices can be curbed using food security bill. By executing the new bill, government is planning to allot 5 kg grain to every individual, rather than 25 kg grains per family. But one of the criticisms against this is that this makes public distribution system more centralized. Although there are some demerits, the good effects of the bill seems to outweigh its negative effects. On the whole, the new bill could be very much appreciated in the Indian society.
