PL480 to NFSA 2013

Many of us would not be even aware that in the 1960s India was forced to import wheat from the US under the PL 480 scheme as it suffered from a severe shortage of food grain. The stories of humiliation and pressure to compromise on India's foreign policy to avail of this facility are now things of the past. The country has moved ahead from the PL 480 phase to a new era of economic reality where it has enacted the National Food Security Act (NFSA)- 2013 which assures food to 67 percent of people in the country who are likely to suffer food deprivation. This indeed marks a giant leap whose impact is going to be multi-dimensional and multi-layered. The guaranteed availability of food to the people, especially those in the below poverty line bracket and belonging to vulnerable section of society will have a significant income effect translating into higher nutritional intake and therefore improved health status. The extra income, it has been argued, could be used for 'medical or educational expenses.. or to supplement expenses for farm inputs'. Indeed for the families struggling for survival, the assured food grain could allow them a 'chance to live with dignity'.

POVERTY MEASURE

Measuring Poverty in India has a long and venerable tradition. In the pre-independence period, Dadabhai Naoroji sought to measure poverty with a view to describe the consequences of colonial rule in India.

His book Poverty and Un-British Rule in India drew attention to the enormous drain on wealth caused by colonial policy and was the foundation to many intellectual arguments for independence. Subsequently, during the freedom struggle the Congress Party, the Planning Commission and many eminent scholars have worked on this issue. Srinivasan (2007) has a detailed review of this background.

In fact, it would not be an understatement that this discourse has been one of India’s major contributions to the field of development studies. It is not a merely a scholarly exercise. The World Bank has stated that fighting poverty is at the core of its work. The United Nations when it outlined the millennium development goals stated that the first goal is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty is at the heart of almost all discourses on development policy.
