## STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (d) OF THE STARRED QUESTION NO. *529 DUE FOR ANSWER ON 11.04.2017 IN THE LOK SABHA

- (a): There have been complaints about irregularities in the functioning of the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) including leakage/diversion of foodgrains, foodgrains not reaching the intended beneficiaries, issuance of  ration  cards  to  ineligible  persons,  etc.  in  some  States/regions  in  the country. TPDS is operated under the joint responsibility of the Central and the State/Union Territory (UT) Governments wherein the operational responsibilities  for  implementation  of  TPDS  within  the  State/UT  rest  with the State/UT Governments concerned. Therefore, as and when complaints are received by the Government from individuals and organizations as well as through press reports, these are referred to the State/UT Governments concerned, if required, for inquiry and appropriate action. A State/UT-wise statement  indicating  number  of  such  complaints  received  during  the  last three  years  and  current  year  is  at  Annexure-I.  Statement  showing  action taken by the State/UT Governments under relevant clauses of the PDS/TPDS (Control) Orders from January 2014 to December, 2016 is at Annex - II.
- (b): This Department has been getting the functioning of Targeted Public Distribution  System  (TPDS)  evaluated  by  different  agencies  from  time  to time. Recently, an evaluation study on functioning of TPDS in selected States i.e.  Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal has  been  got  conducted  through    National  Council  of  Applied  Economic Research (NCAER) during 2014-15. The study evaluated the TPDS System at the  beneficiary  level  and  at  System  level.  The  evaluation  study  inter-alia mentioned following:-
- I. The awareness about entitlement, timings of opening of FPS etc. was low in Assam, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
- II. The  average  distance  of  the  ration  shop  from  beneficiaries  homes  in most  cases  was  less  than  one  km  in  all  States  under  study  except Chhattisgarh, where the average distance is 1-3 km.
- III. The respondents indicated that the foodgrains available in the PDS was somewhat inferior to that available in the open market.
- IV. The beneficiaries vaguely knew about their right to complaint but did not know to whom to complaint to.
- V.
- The report also expressed concern over inclusion/exclusion errors.

The reports received had been sent to the States concerned for taking necessary  remedial  measures  to  remove  the  deficiencies  noticed  in  the functioning of TPDS.

(c) : In  a  continuous  endeavour  to  strengthen  and  streamline  TPDS,  the Government has initiated implementation of 'End-to-end Computerisation of TPDS Operations'  during  the  12 th   Five  Year  Plan  (2012-17)  on  cost  sharing basis with the States/UTs to ensure transparency and check leakages in the TPDS  system.  The  Scheme  comprises  of  activities  namely,  digitization  of ration  cards/beneficiary  and  other  databases,  computerisation  of  supplychain management,  setting  up  of transparency portals and grievance redressal mechanisms and installation of e PoS devices at Fair Price Shops (FPSs) and issuance of foodgrains through biometric authentication.

(d) :        National Food Security Act (NFSA) provides for two tier Grievance Redressal Mechanism in each State/UT including District Grievance Redressal Officer and State Food Commission. In addition, a system of tollfree helpline numbers has also been put in place by State/UT Governments for suggestions/complaints regarding TPDS.  Further, NFSA also provides for State Govt. to set up Vigilance Committees at State, District, Block and FPS level for ensuring transparency and proper functioning of the Targeted Public Distribution System and accountability of the functionaries in such system.
