Q. What are the major challenges of Public Distribution System (PDS) in India? How can it be made
effective and transparent? [150 Words]
The concept of Public Distribution System (PDS) in the country evolved during the 2nd World War (1942) due to the shortage of food grains. PDS has evolved as a system of management of scarcity and for distribution of food grains at affordable prices. PDS is incremental in nature and is not intended to make available the entire requirement of any of the commodities distributed under it.
▪️The PDS faces certain challenges mentioned below:
✅Most of the states distribute only wheat and rice under PDS resulting in deficiency of nutrients among poor
✅ The food grains distributed under PDS lacks in quality
✅Inadequate storage capacity with FCI leads to wastage of food grains
✅Centralized procurement leads to transport of food grains from surplus states to deficit states leading to
wastage of Govt.’s resources
✅FCI’s procurement of only wheat and rice has distorted the cropping pattern
▪️Taking a cue from the recommendations of the Shanta Kumar Committee, it can be made more effective and transparent in the following ways:
✅FCI should hand over the procurement operations to states
✅The coverage of beneficiaries should be brought down from the present 67% to 40%
✅FCI should outsource its stocking operations to private sector and other agencies
✅ Liquidation of stocks should automatically kick-in when FCI is faced with surplus stocks than buffer norms
✅ End to end computerization of the entire food management system, starting from procurement from farmers, to stocking, movement and finally distribution through TPDS
It’s time to introduce DBT in procurement and distribution of food grains and FCI should keep only a minimum level of buffer stock for food security purpose.

Q. Elaborate the scope and significance of the food processing industry in India [150 Words]
India is one of the world's largest producers as well as consumer of food products. Food processing is a sunrise industry (annual growth rate of 10%) in India and is increasingly seen as a potential source for driving the rural economy as it brings about synergy between the consumer, industry and agriculture. With a large agricultural resource base, abundant livestock and cost competitiveness, India is fast emerging as a sourcing hub of processed foods.
▪️Following is the scope and significance of food processing industry:
✅One-third of the population is living in urban areas and this urbanisation will shift the consumption towards packaged and ready-to-eat foods.
✅With favourable economic & cultural transformation, shift in attitudes & lifestyles, consumers are experimenting with different cuisines, tastes and new brands.
✅Demand for processed food rising with growing disposable income, urbanising young population, growing middle-class, and nuclear families.
✅Changing lifestyle and increase in awareness and concern for wellness and health has increased the expenditure on health and nutritional food like high protein, low fat, wholegrain and organic food.
✅Government is supporting food processing activities with various schemes like Mega Food Parks, SAMPADA scheme, TOP scheme etc.
Food processing industry is one of the major employment intensive segments and can play a major role in encouraging the movement of labour from agriculture to manufacturing, thereby removing the problem of disguised unemployment and increasing the productivity of labour and wages.

Q. Evaluate the policies of Lord Curzon and their long-term implications on the national movement.
Lord Curzon served as India’s Viceroy between 1899 and 1905. He represented the peak of the imperialist tendency who largely focused around institutionalising paramountcy and checking the anti-British movement. This reactionary approach gave the national movement a mass push.
▪️The Policies of Lord Curzon:
✅ Calcutta Corporation Act,1899: Reduced the number of elected Indian members.
✅ Ancient Monuments Act, 1904: Aimed to protect the important monuments.
✅ Educational Reforms,1904: The real motive was to control the voices coming from the university, and to suppress them.
✅ Partition of Bengal: Considered as one of the major drawbacks of Curzon. Its aim was to divide Bengal into a
communal division.
✅ Agricultural Reforms: The Punjab Land Seizure Act in 1900 & The Co-operative Credit Union Act in 1904.
✅ Railways: He also abolished the railway department. He organized the Railway administration on a commercial
line with the objective of earning profit.
Foreign policies of Lord Curzon:
With Afghan: Motivated by fears of Russian expansion.
With Tibet: Curzon broke the 1890 trade relations between Tibet and British India.
With the Northwest Frontier: Curzon pursued a policy of consolidating and protecting British-occupied
territories in the North-West.
With Persia: Curzon personally visited the gulf in 1903 to protect the British interest by getting their
support.
The Implication of Lord Curzon Policy:
Positive:
Rise in Nationalist sentiments like the Swadeshi and Vande Mataram Movement.
Curzon’s anti-Indian policies helped India gain the support of the Indian diaspora.
✅ Curzon’s policies made Indians proud of their rich heritage and the inferiority complex of Indians was greatly
reduced
✅ It strengthened the nationalist feelings of the Indians, and the request for swaraj became more intense.
✅ Many factories, schools, and colleges were opened. Such gives step gave Indians the confidence to be self-reliant.
▪️Negative:
✅ It was his policy that gaves birth to the divide and rule policy in India.
✅ It led to the rise of extremism in the Indian National Congress.
Though Curzon’s courses of actions had caused a great amount of resent-ment among the Indians, yet unknowingly, it created a national awakening and religious renaissance as well.
