Title: Malfunctioning of the public distribution systems: an empirical analysis.
Authors: Koshy, Abraham
Keywords: Public Distribution Systems
Issue Date: 29-Sep-1991
Abstract: Public distribution system (PDS), which acquired prominence in India during the Second World War period, has evolved over the years as a major policy instrument of the government to ameliorate difficulties caused by shortages and price increases of foodgrains and other essential items. The commodities supplied at subsidized prices through PDS are aimed to benefit the more vulnerable sections of the society. Questions, however, have been raised about the effectiveness and efficiency of PDS in achieving its objectives which assume more importance because of the large quantum of subsidy involved.
