Abstract

Public Distribution System (PDS) is viewed as the most important food securitynetwork in India in terms of its coverage and public expenditure yet it is not withoutits limitations. The government spends around `750 billion per year on food grains,however, over 20% of the population remains undernourished in the country. The presentstudy focuses on the performance of PDS in the districts of Papum Pare and Kurung Kumeyby analysing the household consumer perceptions. For this purpose, 300 householdswere surveyed from the two districts. The purposive sampling method was followed inchoosing the respondents from the district headquarters of Itanagar (Papum Pare) and Koloriang(Kurung Kumey). The study found that more than three-fourth of the consumers in both thedistricts were satisfied with the performance of PDS. The Fair Price Shops in Papum Pare districtwere perceived to be faring better in terms of number of working days compared withtheir counterparts in Kurung Kumey. Besides, the respondents in Kurung Kumey district have totravel more than the respondents in Papum Pare to reach the ration shop. Almost all therespondents acknowledged the important role being played by PDS in the well-beingof their family. In respect of the replacement of PDS over cash transfer system, over70% of the respondents in Kurung Kumey and nearly 89% of the respondents in Papum Pare districtdid not want cash transfer. The findings suggest the need to support and strengthenthe existing policy of supplying the commodities at subsidized prices
