Food Security in India: An Overview
Abstract: <div>The problem of food security in India has been analyzed in this paper. This paper also tries to explore the strategies of government of India [GOI] in fighting the problem. It has been observed that the government of India has taken several steps to curb the problem, which has already reached at an alarming stage in the form of PDS, MDMS, MNREGA, SJSY, SGSY, FSB, etc. Yet, the problem of hunger has not been eradicated from the country due to several reasons such ascorruption,mismanagement, inflation, natural hazards, etc. But, now-a-days,MNREGA is playing a significant role in making India hunger free and the National Food Security Bill [FSB] is also going to play a revolutionary role in this context. The paper concludes that the MNREG Act and FSB are feathers in the cap of UPA government, who seems to be feeling concerned seriously about the welfare and wellbeing of common man of India.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div>
