Under the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS), the National Food and Security Act [NFSA] allocates 75% ration subsidy to rural households and 50% to the urban population. They are entitled to receive food grains and essential commodities under subsidized prices under this system. The alarming rate of food shortage and food security issues in the country is directly addressed under the TPDS by implementing NFSA with the right measures.
