Paper Summary

India has made progress in ensuring food security for its population by establishing a system to provide subsidized food and non-food items to the poor. The main goal is to distribute food grains to vulnerable groups at affordable prices. The National Food Security Act was enacted in 2013 to provide subsidized food grains to around two-thirds of India's population.
