INTRODUCTION
What is Public Distribution System (PDS)?:
• PDS is a government-led distribution system aimed at providing essential goods
and services to economically weaker sections of society.
• Managed by the Department of Food and Civil Supplies (DFCS) in various
states and union territories.

Historical Context:
• Expanded in the 1960s due to food shortages.
• Flourished in the 1980s with surplus from the Green Revolution.
• Targeted Public Distribution System launched in June 1997, focusing on the
poor.
INTRODUCTION
Functionality:
• Distributes subsidised food and non-food items like wheat, rice, sugar, and kerosene
through fair price shops.
• Supports over 40 crore Indians below the poverty line.

Employment Generation:
• Employs 4.78 lakh fair price shop owners, employees, and laborers working at Food
Corporation of India (FCI) and state warehouses.

Definition of Distribution System:


• Distribution system links producers to customers, ensuring goods and services are
available at the right price.
• Encompasses movements from raw material shipment to finished product delivery.
INTRODUCTION
Role of Government:
• In developing economies, governments ensure essential commodities are distributed
at reasonable prices.
• PDS in India is a retailing system operated by both state and central governments,
providing subsidies to vulnerable sections.

like in Scandinavian countries.
• Operated jointly by central and state governments to provide essential commodities
to the poor at subsidised prices.
