Abstract
Introduction: Food Security Act 2013, also known as National Food Security Act of India or the Right to Food Act, is an Act of Indian Parliament which aims to provide subsidized food grains to approximately two thirds of the country's population
Justification: India continues to lag in terms of hunger (in Global Hunger Index), food security (in Global Food Security Index) and self-sufficiency in agricultural produce (Oxfam’s Food Availability Index), despite changing policies and economic growth.
Policy recommendation: having more funding from the Governments (Central and State), involvement of private entities as Public Private Partnership, involving NGO’s and NPO’s and focusing on self-sufficiency in agricultural produce possibly by subsidized insurances for crops. Moto should be “produce more and produce right, feed more and feed right, fund more and fund right.”
