Abstract

There are many different aspects to the idea of food security. Food security exists when all individuals consistently have physical and monetary admittance to adequate and nutritious food that meets their dietary necessities and food inclination for a functioning and solid life. Guaranteeing food and sustenance security is difficult for India given its colossal populace and elevated degree of destitution and hunger. This is a major concern for India's food security. Identify the primary areas of PDS reform and alternative means of delivering food grain or subsidy to entitled households in light of the current system's inefficiencies and leaks. One way to move forward is to pursue a universal right to food, which would grant everyone access to PDS-subsidized food grains. Additionally, India continues to be one of the world's fastest-growing economies despite its remarkable economic expansion in recent years. Food is regarded as a fundamental amenity that is necessary for an individual's sustenance, growth, and development. India has positioned 101 among the 116 nations on the Worldwide Craving Record, 2021. Despite the fact that the Indian government has been actively addressing household food security for a considerable amount of time through the Public Distribution System and the National Food Security Act (NFSA) of 2013, there are still issues related to India's food security that need to be addressed in light of the country's growing population, the effects of climate change, and the disruption of the global supply chain caused by the Russia-Ukraine War.
