Dear student,
The following are main the features of PDS.
1. Maintaining price stability:- Public distribution system keeps the price stable throughout the year by managing the flow of food items in the market.
2. Social welfare:-It ensures that the poor section of the society also has access to the food. There are many programmes run by the government such as the Annapoorna yojna. The public distribution system provides food for the implementation of such programmes.
3. Rationing during the scarcity:- Public distribution system also keep the buffer of foodgrain in the warehouses so that the flow of food remains active even during the period of less agricultural food production.
4. Keeping a check on private trade:- Public distribution system also keeps an eye on the hoarders and black marketers who try for windfall gain at the cost of poor people and other consumers.
The following are the advantages of the public distribution system:
1. It has helped in stabilizing food prices and making food available to consumers at affordable prices.
2. It has helped in avoiding hunger and famine by supplying food from surplus regions of the country to deficient regions.
3. The system of minimum support price and procurement has contributed to an increase in food grain production.
4. A large number of poor people have stopped sleeping empty stomach.
5. It has checked the black marketing and hoarding of food grain
Some shortcomings of the public distribution system are :
1. Lack of availability of foodgrains.
2. Poor quality of available foodgrains.
3. Lack of access to the poor.
4. Corruption and leakage of foodgrains.
Regards,
