## A N S W E R

## MINISTER OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION (SHRI RAM  VILAS PASWAN)

- (a):      Targeted  Public  Distribution  System  (TPDS)  is  operated  under  the joint responsibilities of the Central and the State/Union Territory Governments  wherein  operational  responsibilities  of  identification  of eligible  beneficiaries  under  NFSA/TPDS  and  issuance  of  ration  cards  to them  rests  with  the  concerned  State/UT  Govts.  As  per  the  information available with the Department, there are 24.19 crore ration cards under NFSA/TPDS in the country and out of which 10.83 crore ration cards have been linked with Aadhaar. State/UT wise statement on number of ration cards  and  Aadhar  seeding  therein  is  placed  at  Annex-I.  As  regards allocation of foodgrains to States/UTs during last 3 years, a statement is placed at Annex-II. The quantum of foodgrains lost due to leakages in PDS is not maintained at the Central level as the supervision over monitoring of functioning of Fair Price Shops rest with the concerned State/UT Govts.
- (b): The Shanta Kumar Committee has inter-alia made some recommendations for improvement in PDS. Department had taken appropriate steps on the following recommendations:-
- (i)     GoI should defer implementation of NFSA in States that have not done End-to-end computerization, have not put list of beneficiaries  online  for  anyone  to  verify  and  have  not  setup vigilance committees to check pilferage from PDS - Government has made all States and Union Territories aware about NFSA and asked  to  implement  it,  so  that  leakage  in  the  PDS  can  be reduced.
- (ii)    NFSA/TPDS  Beneficiaries  are  given  6  month  ration  immediately after the procurement season -Department has issued instructions for release of foodgrains upto 6 months requirement at a time.
- (iii)  Gradual introduction of cash transfer in PDS - Under NFSA, DBT for  foodgrains  has  been  launched  in  3  UTs  namely  Chandigarh, Puducherry and Dadra & Nagar Haveli.
- (iv)      One  of  its  recommendations  relating  to  NFSA,  the  Committee has suggested changes in beneficiary entitlement (increasing to 7  Kg),  population  coverage  (limited  to  40%)  and  linking  issue price to MSP. However, there is no proposal to make amendments in the NFSA, 2013.
- (c):  Government has taken various steps in implementation of the TPDS in States/UTs for better targeting of food subsidies, removing bogus ration cards, ensuring timely availability of foodgrains, check on leakage/diversion  of  food  grains,  introducing  public  accountability  etc. The National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013 prescribed essential reforms

in  the  PDS.  Govt.  has  taken  up  with  States/UTs  for  implementing measures such as door-step delivery of foodgrains, correct identification of  beneficiaries,  improve  foodgrains  off  take,  monitoring  and  vigilance, improving viability of fair price shop operations. The PDS (C ) Order, 2001 as well as the TPDS (C ) Order, 2015 empower State Govts. to take all necessary steps for ensuring smooth implementation of TPDS so that the subsidized food grains reach the intended beneficiaries. As part of efforts being  made  for  modernization  of  Targeted  Public  Distribution  System (TPDS),  Department  of  Food  and  Public  Distribution  is  implementing  a Plan  Scheme  on  End-to-end  Computerization  of  TPDS  Operations  during 12 th   Five  Year Plan (2012-17). Following are the key activities under the scheme, Digitization of Beneficiary Database, Computerisation of Supply Chain Management, and setting up of Grievance Redressal Mechanisms and Transparency Portal. Besides, for checking leakages & diversion in PDS, Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) has been introduced in 3 UTs on pilot basis namely Chandigarh & Puducherry w.e.f. 1-9-15 and partial areas of Dadra  &  Nagar  Haveli  w.e.f.  1-3-2016  after  their  consent  as  per  'Cash Transfer of Food Subsidy Rules, 2015' which was notified on 21.08.2015 under the National Food Security Act, 2013.

(d): Fair  Price  Shop  (FPS)  automation  involves,  installation  of  Point  of Sale (PoS) devices at FPS for authentication of beneficiaries, recording of sales  to  beneficiaries  at  the  FPS;  and  uploading  of  transaction  data  in central server. In this regard, necessary guidelines have been shared with all  States/UTs  on  11.11.2014  which  were  prepared  in  consultation  with NIC,  Department  of  Electronics  &  Information  Technology  (DeitY)  and Unique  Identification  Authority  of  India  (UIDAI).  As  regards  financial assistance, Government has approved FPS dealers' margins (@ Rs. 87/qtl.) under  NFSA  which  also  includes  reimbursement  of  Rs.  17/qtl.  for  their expenditure  towards  purchase  and  operations  of  the  PoS/Mobile  Tablet device  at  the  FPS  for  automation.  So  far,  more  than  82,000  FPSs  have been automated across the country.
