This report focuses on the performance
of, and future challenges for, the Government of
India's primary "direct food and nutrition safety
nets" or food-based transfer programs designed to
alleviate short-term food and nutrition insecurity and
improve caring behavior within households. This study
focuses on the public food distribution system, the
government's buffer stocking operations for foodgrain
price stabilization, food for work programs, the mid-day
meals program, and the integrated child development support
services program. A common denominator of this package of
interventions is that they all provide direct food
assistance to households to mitigate chronic and/or
temporary shortfalls in household food consumption. These
programs merit special attention as they form one of the key
pillars of the government's food and nutrition security
strategy. While there is general agreement that measures
that promote economic growth and the development of a strong
human resource base would have a stronger and more permanent
impact on household food and nutrition security, these
food-baed transfer programs nontheless play a critical role
in enabling the poor and vulnerable households to alleviate
the gap not only in short-term deficiencies in food
consumption due to inadequate incomes, but also to ease the
constraints to the use of selected health and related
nutrition services essential to achieving and maintaining
long-term nutritional well-being. |
