| Summary, etc |
This paper examines the overall performance of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in three districts of Nagaland State viz., Kohima, Peren and Wokha, based on data collected through survey sampling of PDS beneficiary households. Various issues such as irregularities in distribution of ration items, arbitrary pricing and allocation of ration items by the dealers, rampant ignoring of guidelines of National Food Security Act, 2013, anomalies in prices, quantities and varieties of ration items distributed among the villages, inclusion errors., are in the perspective of this study. The paper also identifies the indispensability of the PDS in providing a modicum of food security to the poorer sections of the state. The study estimates the average income transfer due to PDS to beneficiaries in their monthly per household expenditure for a few essential commodities along with an examination of the uneven delivery of benefits through PDS among different villages in the same district for each of the districts. Comparison of performances of PDS in terms of average subsidy transfer among the three districts is also carried out. – Reproduced |
