Abstract

In India, the Public Distribution System (PDS) is an important mechanism for guaranteeing food security by supplying critical goods to economically disadvantaged members of society at reduced rates. This study article examines the efficiency and effectiveness of PDS operations. It investigates the historical backdrop and growth of PDS, identifies important stakeholders and their responsibilities, and compares it to similar systems in other Asian nations. The report emphasizes PDS operational issues such as leakages, pilferage, and inefficiencies, as well as an analysis of government spending on food subsidies over time A SWOT analysis helps understand the PDS's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This paper suggests data-driven methods to increase the efficiency and transparency of PDS operations, with the ultimate goal of improving food security while reducing government spending.
