Abstract
The Public Distribution System has been one the main food security scheme to meet the basic dietary needs of the people. The National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013, also provides even more grain at subsidized price to 67 percent of population. The existing PDS system has been highly “leaky”, with large amounts of grains being diverted to open market. This paper is a policy analysis of public distribution system in the country.
