Give reasons to argue for the following statements “Public Distribution System can ensure better food security for people.”

Public distribution system is a government-sponsored chain of shops. They distribute basic food and non-food goods to the needy sections of the society at a very low price. Public Distribution System can definitely ensure better food security for people. The arguments in support of this statement are:

1. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure food is supplied to the people at all times.

2. PDS can ensure food security by procuring food at proper intervals and using an adequate distribution method.

3. PDS ensures that BPL-Below poverty lines families re provided with foods at low prices.

4. Ration shops are also important, especially in Southern India, to provide food to the needy.
