&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The Supreme Court commissioners in the food case have warned the Union government that their draft National Food Security Act falls foul of apex court orders on providing food and nutrition to the needy.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to the government, the principal adviser to the office of commissioners, Biraj Patnaik, noted that the draft violated several existing orders of the Supreme Court. He said the apex court explicitly banned the role of profit-making contractors and suppliers selling ready to eat meals to children but the draft bill has provisions that contradict this order. &amp;ldquo;The definition of meal is a cooked meal or ready to eat meal or take home ration, as prescribed by the central government. The words &amp;lsquo;locally produced&amp;rsquo; should be inserted in the definition, and ready to eat food should be deleted,&amp;rdquo; he said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The hon&amp;rsquo;ble court has explicitly stated and reiterated, through various orders over the past few years, that meals for children to mean locally produced, &amp;lsquo;hot cooked meals&amp;rsquo; or take home rations,&amp;rdquo; he added. Patnaik also pointed out that the issue of number of beneficiaries to be covered by such programmes was sub-judice at the moment. &amp;ldquo;The matter of the BPL/ priority households is now sub-judice in the Supreme Court. Till such time that a final decision on this is taken, any mention of targeting of specific percentages of people to be covered within the ambit of the NFSB is not advisable,&amp;rdquo; he said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Hearing on the controversial Planning Commission affidavit stating urban poverty cut-off at Rs 32 in urban areas and Rs 25 in rural areas is to come up in the apex court on November 2. It remains unclear if the government intends to rethink the affidavit and not use the cut-offs for counting the beneficiaries under various social sector programmes.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Patnaik has objected to the absence of a strict starvation code and the definition of priority households, which does not expressly include the vulnerable already covered under the Antodaya Anna Yojna.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The SC has banned the role of profit-making suppliers selling ready-to-eat meals to kids.

The Supreme Court commissioners in the food case have warned the Union government that their draft National Food Security Act falls foul of apex court orders on providing food and nutrition to the needy.&amp;nbsp;

Hearing on the controversial Planning Commission affidavit stating urban poverty cut-off at Rs 32 in urban areas and Rs 25 in rural areas is to come up in the apex court on November 2. It remains unclear if the government intends to rethink the affidavit and not use the cut-offs for counting the beneficiaries under various social sector programmes.&amp;nbsp;

The Supreme Court commissioners in the food case have warned the Union government that their draft National Food Security Act falls foul of apex court orders on providing food and nutrition to the needy.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to the government, the principal adviser to the office of commissioners, Biraj Patnaik, noted that the draft violated several existing orders of the Supreme Court. He said the apex court explicitly banned the role of profit-making contractors and suppliers selling ready to eat meals to children but the draft bill has provisions that contradict this order. &amp;ldquo;The definition of meal is a cooked meal or ready to eat meal or take home ration, as prescribed by the central government. The words &amp;lsquo;locally produced&amp;rsquo; should be inserted in the definition, and ready to eat food should be deleted,&amp;rdquo; he said.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The hon&amp;rsquo;ble court has explicitly stated and reiterated, through various orders over the past few years, that meals for children to mean locally produced, &amp;lsquo;hot cooked meals&amp;rsquo; or take home rations,&amp;rdquo; he added. Patnaik also pointed out that the issue of number of beneficiaries to be covered by such programmes was sub-judice at the moment. &amp;ldquo;The matter of the BPL/ priority households is now sub-judice in the Supreme Court. Till such time that a final decision on this is taken, any mention of targeting of specific percentages of people to be covered within the ambit of the NFSB is not advisable,&amp;rdquo; he said.&amp;nbsp;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Hearing on the controversial Planning Commission affidavit stating urban poverty cut-off at Rs 32 in urban areas and Rs 25 in rural areas is to come up in the apex court on November 2. It remains unclear if the government intends to rethink the affidavit and not use the cut-offs for counting the beneficiaries under various social sector programmes.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Patnaik has objected to the absence of a strict starvation code and the definition of priority households, which does not expressly include the vulnerable already covered under the Antodaya Anna Yojna.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

The Supreme Court commissioners in the food case have warned the Union government that their draft National Food Security Act falls foul of apex court orders on providing food and nutrition to the needy.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
In a letter to the government, the principal adviser to the office of commissioners, Biraj Patnaik, noted that the draft violated several existing orders of the Supreme Court. He said the apex court explicitly banned the role of profit-making contractors and suppliers selling ready to eat meals to children but the draft bill has provisions that contradict this order. &amp;ldquo;The definition of meal is a cooked meal or ready to eat meal or take home ration, as prescribed by the central government. The words &amp;lsquo;locally produced&amp;rsquo; should be inserted in the definition, and ready to eat food should be deleted,&amp;rdquo; he said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The hon&amp;rsquo;ble court has explicitly stated and reiterated, through various orders over the past few years, that meals for children to mean locally produced, &amp;lsquo;hot cooked meals&amp;rsquo; or take home rations,&amp;rdquo; he added. Patnaik also pointed out that the issue of number of beneficiaries to be covered by such programmes was sub-judice at the moment. &amp;ldquo;The matter of the BPL/ priority households is now sub-judice in the Supreme Court. Till such time that a final decision on this is taken, any mention of targeting of specific percentages of people to be covered within the ambit of the NFSB is not advisable,&amp;rdquo; he said.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Hearing on the controversial Planning Commission affidavit stating urban poverty cut-off at Rs 32 in urban areas and Rs 25 in rural areas is to come up in the apex court on November 2. It remains unclear if the government intends to rethink the affidavit and not use the cut-offs for counting the beneficiaries under various social sector programmes.&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Patnaik has objected to the absence of a strict starvation code and the definition of priority households, which does not expressly include the vulnerable already covered under the Antodaya Anna Yojna.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The SC has banned the role of profit-making suppliers selling ready-to-eat meals to kids.

‘Food security bill falls foul of SC ruling’ by Nitin Sethi

The Supreme Court commissioners in the food case have warned the Union government that their draft National Food Security Act falls foul of apex court orders on providing food and nutrition to the needy.  In a letter to the government, the principal adviser to the office of commissioners, Biraj Patnaik, noted that the draft violated several existing orders of the Supreme Court. He said the apex court explicitly banned the role of profit-making contractors and suppliers selling ready to eat meals to children but the draft bill has provisions that contradict this order. “The definition of meal is a cooked meal or ready to eat meal or take home ration, as prescribed by the central government. The words ‘locally produced’ should be inserted in the definition, and ready to eat food should be deleted,” he said.  “The hon’ble court has explicitly stated and reiterated, through various orders over the past few years, that meals for children to mean locally produced, ‘hot cooked meals’ or take home rations,” he added. Patnaik also pointed out that the issue of number of beneficiaries to be covered by such programmes was sub-judice at the moment. “The matter of the BPL/ priority households is now sub-judice in the Supreme Court. Till such time that a final decision on this is taken, any mention of targeting of specific percentages of people to be covered within the ambit of the NFSB is not advisable,” he said.  Hearing on the controversial Planning Commission affidavit stating urban poverty cut-off at Rs 32 in urban areas and Rs 25 in rural areas is to come up in the apex court on November 2. It remains unclear if the government intends to rethink the affidavit and not use the cut-offs for counting the beneficiaries under various social sector programmes.  Patnaik has objected to the absence of a strict starvation code and the definition of priority households, which does not expressly include the vulnerable already covered under the Antodaya Anna Yojna. The SC has banned the role of profit-making suppliers selling ready-to-eat meals to kids.
