&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meanwhile, output has also dipped due to weather ravages, which hints at tough times in coming months.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Strange as it may sound but rice and wheat allocation for distribution through various welfare schemes has been steadily dipping in the past several years. It is strange because the population is growing and even the Supreme Court has urged the Central government to revise its population norms for food grain allocation since these are based on 2011 Census data.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Going by the official population projections for 2021, food grain distribution should cover more than 90 crore people, not the 80 crore population coverage at present.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As the chart below shows, the decline in allocation of food grain has been steadily happening since 2016-17. For 2022-23, the allocation is just 605 lakh tonnes, comprising 401 lakh tonnes of rice and about 204 lakh tonnes of wheat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This includes grain allocation for the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS); the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), which runs Anganwadis for children; the PM-Poshan scheme, which is the new name of the Midday Meal Scheme; and various welfare schemes like hostels for SC/ST students, scheme for adolescent girls, Annapurna scheme, etc. It does not include grains released in the open market for sale from the central pool. Data is derived from the Foodgrain Bulletin for July 2022, released by the department of food and public distribution.&lt;/p&gt;

For 2022-23, the allocation is just 605 lakh tonnes, comprising 401 lakh tonnes of rice and about 204 lakh tonnes of wheat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This includes grain allocation for the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS); the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), which runs Anganwadis for children; the PM-Poshan scheme, which is the new name of the Midday Meal Scheme; and various welfare schemes like hostels for SC/ST students, scheme for adolescent girls, Annapurna scheme, etc. It does not include grains released in the open market for sale from the central pool.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meanwhile, output has also dipped due to weather ravages, which hints at tough times in coming months.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Strange as it may sound but rice and wheat allocation for distribution through various welfare schemes has been steadily dipping in the past several years. It is strange because the population is growing and even the Supreme Court has urged the Central government to revise its population norms for food grain allocation since these are based on 2011 Census data.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Going by the official population projections for 2021, food grain distribution should cover more than 90 crore people, not the 80 crore population coverage at present.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;As the chart below shows, the decline in allocation of food grain has been steadily happening since 2016-17. For 2022-23, the allocation is just 605 lakh tonnes, comprising 401 lakh tonnes of rice and about 204 lakh tonnes of wheat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This includes grain allocation for the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS); the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), which runs Anganwadis for children; the PM-Poshan scheme, which is the new name of the Midday Meal Scheme; and various welfare schemes like hostels for SC/ST students, scheme for adolescent girls, Annapurna scheme, etc. It does not include grains released in the open market for sale from the central pool. Data is derived from the Foodgrain Bulletin for July 2022, released by the department of food and public distribution.&lt;/p&gt;

Foodgrain Blues: PDS Allocation Dips, Prices Rise -Subodh Varma

-Newsclick.in Meanwhile, output has also dipped due to weather ravages, which hints at tough times in coming months. Strange as it may sound but rice and wheat allocation for distribution through various welfare schemes has been steadily dipping in the past several years. It is strange because the population is growing and even the Supreme Court has urged the Central government to revise its population norms for food grain allocation since these are based on 2011 Census data.  Going by the official population projections for 2021, food grain distribution should cover more than 90 crore people, not the 80 crore population coverage at present. As the chart below shows, the decline in allocation of food grain has been steadily happening since 2016-17. For 2022-23, the allocation is just 605 lakh tonnes, comprising 401 lakh tonnes of rice and about 204 lakh tonnes of wheat.  This includes grain allocation for the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS); the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), which runs Anganwadis for children; the PM-Poshan scheme, which is the new name of the Midday Meal Scheme; and various welfare schemes like hostels for SC/ST students, scheme for adolescent girls, Annapurna scheme, etc. It does not include grains released in the open market for sale from the central pool.
