## A N S W E R

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

(a)  &  (b):    Requests  have  been  received  from  a  few  State  Governments  to increase the number of Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) beneficiaries, but it could not  be  acceded  to,  as  the  number  is  fixed  for  every  State.    States/Union Territories (UTs) are advised from time to time to review the existing list of AAY beneficiaries  and  remove  the  ineligible  beneficiaries  so  as  to  include  only  the most  eligible.  A  statement  showing  State/UT-wise  accepted  number  of  AAY families and number of ration cards issued as on 30.06.2015 is at Annex-I.  The details of increase in the number of AAY families sought by the States from time to time are at Annex-II. The details of allocations, offtake of foodgrains (rice & wheat) made during the last three years and the current year are at Annex-III &

- IV.

(c)  &  (d):    There  have  been  complaints  about  irregularities  including misappropriation  of  AAY  benefits,  inclusion/exclusion  errors  etc.  in  the functioning of Targeted Public Distribution System  (TPDS) in  some States/regions in the country. TPDS is operated under the joint responsibility  of  the  Central  and  the  State/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 Annex-V.

The  Public  Distribution  System  (Control)  Order,  2001  notified  on 31.08.2001 mandates the State/UT Governments to carry out all required action to ensure smooth functioning of TPDS.  Under the said order, the State/UT Governments are responsible for implementing TPDS and competent to take action against those indulging in malpractices in TPDS by invoking provisions of clauses 8 & 9 of the said Order.  The PDS(Control) Order,  2001  has  been  superseded  by  the  TPDS  (Control)  Order,  2015 notified on 20.03.2015 in consonance with NFSA, 2013.  The provisions of the  PDS(C)  Order,  2001  shall  be  effective  in  States/UTs  which  have  not implemented  the  NFSA  or  are  implementing  it  only  in  part.    An  offence committed in violation of the provisions of these Orders is liable for penal action under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955.  Thus, both the Orders empower  State/UT  Governments  to  take  punitive  action  in case  of contravention of relevant provisions of these Orders.  State/UT-wise details regarding  action  taken  under  clauses  8  &  9  of  the  PDS(C)  Order,  2001 during the last three years and current year is at Annex-VI.

Strengthening and streamlining of TPDS is a continuous endeavour. To  improve  functioning  of  TPDS,  Government  has  been  regularly  issuing advisories  and  holding  meetings,  conferences,  etc.  wherein  State/UT Governments are requested for review of lists of beneficiaries, improving the offtake of allocated foodgrains, ensuring timely availability of foodgrains at Fair Price Shops (FPSs), greater transparency in functioning of  TPDS,  improved  monitoring  and  vigilance  at  various  levels,  improving the  viability  of  FPS  operations,  etc.    The  NFSA,  2013  also  contains measures  for  reforms  in  TPDS,  to  be  undertaken  progressively  by  the Central and State/UT Governments.  These reforms inter alia include doorstep  delivery  of  fooodgrains  at  the  FPS,  application  of  information  and communication  technology  tools  including  end  to  end  computerization, preference to public institutions/bodies in licensing of FPSs, etc.

(e) :  No, Madam.
