Title

Exploring Food Security in Pakhimoria Block, Nagaon District, Assam: A Multi-Dimensional Case Study

Abstract

This study aims to delve into the critical issue of food security in the Pakhimoria block of Nagaon district, Assam, India. The research focuses on four main objectives: understanding the implementation of various food security programs, examining the gap between the public distribution system and its beneficiaries, assessing the self-sufficiency of local agricultural production during distress periods, and studying nutritional awareness among households. The results reveal a significant proportion of beneficiaries covered under food security programs, yet gaps remain due to irregularities in program implementation and issues with the quality and quantity of food provided. The local agriculture, traditionally the primary source of food and income, is being gradually abandoned due to socio-economic challenges and a lack of adequate support systems. This shift has raised concerns about self-sufficiency during periods of distress such as floods and droughts. Furthermore, the nutritional awareness among households is still deeply rooted in traditional beliefs, with limited understanding of the nutritional components of their diets. This study underscores the necessity for improved implementation of food security programs, strengthening of the local agricultural sector, and increased nutritional awareness in the Pakhimoria block. These improvements could ensure greater food security and contribute to the overall well-being of the population.
