| Summary, etc | Ensuring food security to one and all citizens is the prime responsibility of state. So far India is concerned, it has larger share of population facing food insecurity. India, despite being self-sufficient in food commodities, according to the UN report, it has sizeable number of population who face food insecurity, malnutrition and health problems caused by malnutrition. Corona pandemic has added to the problem. It is considered that every citizen of a country has entitlement over the food, irrespective of ability to afford. As such, the Food Security Act (FSA) was passed in 2013. We know that food travels through a rout from field to kitchen in which the state apparatus has significant role to play, especially in reaching the food at the time of need to even those who cannot afford it. Despite implementation of food security law and availability of food commodities, the women in Bihar lag behind having sufficient nutrition. Thus, it becomes an urgent imperative to examine aspects of implementation of FSA in the context of access to food and nutrition. Bihar is such state that has greater incidence of malnutrition among people, especially women and children as reflected in NFHS 2019-21. The present paper intends to underline some policy issues. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA_Vol.%20XXII%20No%201_S%20%20Jam-June%202025.pdf |
