Public Distribution System (PDS) aims at poverty alleviation programme and has worked towards the overall health of the people. Critical commodities like rice, wheat, sugar, kerosene is supplied to the citizens under the PDS at fair rates. The people living on the Below Poverty Line got PDS as a boon. The PDS is the government of India's key services for social security and poverty reduction. The PDS is seen as the most critical network for food security. There are some criticisms, however, particularly that the cereals supplied are not adequate to meet the needs of the poor for consumption and are of inferior quality.
