It gives us immense pleasure to bring forth our book “Implementation of National Food Security Act – 2013”
Food is one of the fundamental necessities of human beings, so in United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals, first goal has set as to eradicate the poverty and hunger. Particularly in India, two-third of the population is around the poverty line. This group is spending most portion of their total monthly income on food grain. According to the report of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in between 2003 to 2005 near about 22 crore 50 lakh population is under malnutrition, it is 21 per cent of the total population of India. World Bank report (2006) shows that some states of India are facing poverty like African countries and some state are in the row of medium income group countries. It indicates the regional disparity in development of the nation. Different states use different ways to provide food to BPL population through PSD, and every state is facing the problem of weaker distribution system. Beyond the role of the government as welfare state, to ensure the right to food as right of the citizen of India, to make available nutritious, sufficient and cheaper food, the government of India passed a long waited bill as act, National Food Security Act 2013 on 12 September 201 3.
By the Act, the targeted group will get 5 kg of food grains per head per month. 67% of the total population 75% of rural and 50% of urban will be covered. It will provide rice, wheat and coarse food at Rs. 3, Rs. 2 and Rs. 1 per kg respectively. Pregnant women and lactating mothers are entitle to a nutritious “take-home ration” of 600 calories and a maternity benefit of at least Rs. 6,000 for six months. Children 6 months to 14 years of age are to receive free meals or “take-home rations” However, this Scheme will run by State Government with the help of Center Government’s subsidies. Central Government will incur the cost of 1 lakh 30 thousand crores per annum approximately on subsidy. It will increase the deficit of the nation.
