Corruption in the Public Distribution System has been cited by the Indian government as the main reason to go for cash transfers to low-income and below-poverty-line families that qualify for receiving them.
</div>
<p align="justify">
Such corruption includes siphoning off grains meant for the poor by middlemen and then selling them in the open market to make profit, or higher income families receiving subsidized food through collusion with officials. Both lead to leakages and undermine the system which helps distribute over 45 million metric tons of foodgrains to over 400 million families each year.
</p>
<p align="justify">
But development economists Jean Dr&egrave;ze and Reetika Khera argue that leakages are being overstated to make the case for cash transfers when states such as Bihar and Odisha are proving that an efficient PDS is the best way to reduce poverty. This comes after the Shanta Kumar committee submitted a report to Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week, recommending a gradual phasing out of PDS and moving to cash transfers. To support their case, the committee cited estimates of leakages as calculated by Ashok Gulati, former chairman of Committee for Agricultural Costs, which recommends the minimum support price for farmers, and Shweta Saini of Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations.

Govt Claims Of Higher PDS Leakage Not True, Economists Say -Anirvan Ghosh
-HuffingtonPost.in
Corruption in the Public Distribution System has been cited by the Indian government as the main reason to go for cash transfers to low-income and below-poverty-line families that qualify for receiving them.
Such corruption includes siphoning off grains meant for the poor by middlemen and then selling them in the open market to make profit, or higher income families receiving subsidized food through collusion with officials. Both lead to leakages and undermine the system which helps distribute over 45 million metric tons of foodgrains to over 400 million families each year.
But development economists Jean Drèze and Reetika Khera argue that leakages are being overstated to make the case for cash transfers when states such as Bihar and Odisha are proving that an efficient PDS is the best way to reduce poverty. This comes after the Shanta Kumar committee submitted a report to Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week, recommending a gradual phasing out of PDS and moving to cash transfers. To support their case, the committee cited estimates of leakages as calculated by Ashok Gulati, former chairman of Committee for Agricultural Costs, which recommends the minimum support price for farmers, and Shweta Saini of Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations.
