With the Food Security Bill presented in Lok Sabha recently, there is an interesting debate going on concerning different dimensions of the issue. Ensuring food security is a long-unresolved problem in India, which houses the world’s largest number of undernourished children. The Government runs a number of special programmes to ensure food security and has a truly massive subsidy burden on this account. With a humongous population, a large proportion of which is truly living in penury, a broken PDS and fiscal limitations of the state, ensuring food security to all Indians is going to be a gargantuan task.
