Supported by more than 450 concerned citizens and civil society organisations, an appeal has been sent by the Right to Food Campaign to the Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Shri Ram Vilas Paswan on 13th April, 2020.

In that letter to the food minister, the Right to Campaign -- an informal network of organisations and individuals committed to the realisation of food rights in the country -- has asked for universalization of the Public Distribution System (PDS) to avoid further hunger and starvation arising from the COVID-19 lockdown. It may be noted that a large chunk of vulnerable population in India is left out of social safety net, such as the PDS.
