The National Food and Security Act (NFSA) legally entitled up to 75% of the rural population and 50% of the urban population to receive subsidised foodgrains under the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS). The TPDS aims to provide and address the issue of food security in households through the TPDS. The NFSA reforms in the TPDS, including schemes such as cash transfers for provisioning of food entitlements.
