The National Food Security Act (NFSA) was enacted in India in 2013 to provide subsidized food grains to approximately two-thirds of the country's population. The act aims to ensure that every citizen has access to adequate nutrition, thereby improving food security and reducing hunger. It covers various food items, including rice, wheat, and coarse grains, which are distributed through the Public Distribution System (PDS). Under the NFSA, eligible households receive a monthly quota of food grains at highly subsidized rates. The act also emphasizes the importance of nutritional support for vulnerable groups, such as children and pregnant women, by providing additional benefits and entitlements. This initiative is a significant step towards achieving the goal of food security in India.
