Question
Public distribution system protects poor from inflating India. Explain.
✓
Answer
Mostly poor people cannot satisfy their basic needs like food, clothing and housing.
Most of their earnings are used in buying edible goods for daily needs.
This problem is largely addressed through public distribution system in India. Under this system, the government has set-up ration shops where rural and urban poor are sold basic utility goods at reasonable price.
Even during situations like drought and scarcity the public distribution system takes care that it is able to satisfy basic needs of poor.
Hence, one can rightly say that public distribution system protects poor from inflating India.
