From Jharkhand, a timely reality check on the implementation of the National Food Security Act

The author takes stock of the implementation of the National Food Security Act in Wards 34 and 49 of Ranchi district in Jharkhand. This report focuses primarily on four major schemes under the Act: the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana, the Public Distribution System, the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, and the Integrated Child Development Scheme. Her recent pilot study in the two wards not only reveals the shortcomings of the schemes, but also incorporates the perspectives of the various stakeholders and gives recommendations for fruitful changes in them.
