PDS District Wise Monthly Wheat and Rice
The District wise Public Distribution System (PDS) dataset provides critical information about the distribution of essential commodities to eligible households through the PDS in India, in light of the National Food Security Act (NFSA) of 2013. The NFSA legally entitles up to 75% of the rural population and 50% of the urban population to receive subsidized food grains through the Targeted Public Distribution System, with around 80.60 crore persons currently covered under the Act. The PDS dataset includes information on the distribution of rice and wheat.
