Abstract

Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) is one of the most important schemes of the Government of India. The scheme under the Department of Food & Public Distribution, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Civil Supplies, Government of India, covers over 65 million poor families in the country. With a network of about 5.01 lakh Fair Price Shops (FPSs), the TPDS is perhaps the largest public food distribution network of its type in the world. With the above theme the present study is intended to analyse the efficiency of PDS in rendering food security services, evaluate the problems among the PDS and examine the satisfaction level of PDS Commodities with regard to quality, quantity, price and availability.
