Food and Civil Supplies Minister C. Divakaran said here on Friday that the Public Distribution System (PDS) in Kerala could be efficient only with the assistance of the Central government.

Talking to reporters, the Minister said that the State was food deficit. So, the Centre should extend a helping hand in maintaining the system, he added.

The Minister said that he had to face much difficulty in prosecuting the accused in the irregularities reported in some purchases of the Civil Supplies Corporation (Supplyco) during the time of the previous United Democratic Front (UDF) government. He had to even seek the intervention of his party headquarters to press for an inquiry by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the irregularities. Now, the investigation had been completed and the case was before the court.

Social auditing

Mr. Divakaran said that he had introduced social auditing to check irregularities in the distribution of ration articles. He said that e-tendering was introduced in Supplyco, which was now running on profit. Thirteen essential articles were sold through Supplyco at the same price for the past five years.

The Animal Husbandry Department had grown to be an important department during the past five years. It could increase milk production in the State by 5 lakh litres and set up 600 poultry clubs of schoolchildren.
