India ensures food security through a mix of public distribution systems, subsidies, and agricultural programs to boost crop production. The Food Corporation of India (FCI) plays a key role in managing procurement, storage, and distribution of food grains.
The government implements schemes like the Mid-Day Meal Scheme and the National Food Security Act (NFSA) to provide food to the poor and vulnerable sections of society. These policies aim to provide food grains at subsidized rates to millions of people.
From my experience working in a rural development NGO, direct benefit transfer (DBT) and local self-help groups have been quite effective in ensuring food reaches the needy.
