Sonia-led NAC to push govt on food net by Nitin Sethi

The Sonia Gandhi-led National Advisory Council has decided to stick to its recommendations on the Food Security Act which have been turned down by a committee headed by PM's chief economic adviser C Rangarajan.  The NAC has released the version of the Bill it has drafted to explain that its recommendations on the size of population to be covered by the Food Security Act were feasible.  The Rangarajan committee has cited food availability and government's inability to procure it to say that NAC's recommendations were impractical.  The decision not to settle for a restrained approach suggested by Rangarajan and publicise NAC's case was taken at a meeting of the body on Friday. Sonia Gandhi was in chair. Sources said that the Congress chief told members of the council to explain to the people why they thought that the government could provide food security to more people than the Rangarajan panel feels it could. Just as they have detailed the reason for opposing NAC's recommendations, we should also explain why we think that it was possible to implement the recommendations of the NAC, the Congress chief is learnt to have told the NAC members.  The Congress chief has pushed for a wider food safety net. NAC members feel that the government's approach is conservative.  Their decision may lead the government to re-visit the issue, especially if Sonia Gandhi digs her heel in.  There are differences within the NAC as well.  The meeting on Friday saw members of the council differ on key provisions of the draft food security Bill. The differences got so wide that Jean Dreze informed the group that he would no more be part of the Bill drafting group.  Dreze had earlier criticised the working of the NAC and the way the government was disregarding its recommendations.  In the meeting, N C Saxena recommended that the entire scheduled tribes and scheduled castes not be made mandatory beneficiaries of the subsidised food scheme. Most members of the council did not agree with the proposal, but came around to accept Saxena's position.  The PMO has taken a cautious line on the extent of food security cover. It has told the NAC that keeping food subsidies low was its priority and that the number of beneficiaries and the type of entitlements provided would have to dovetailed to a larger agenda of fiscal prudence.  The NAC, in consultations with the concerned ministries and lawyers within and outside the government, has come close to finalising a draft Bill. But even as it was preparing the Bill, the PMO set up the Rangarajan committee which recommended that the Bill be shaved down to offer a bare minimum of entitlements and not look at turning other nutrition schemes into legal rights as well.  The feud has now erupted within the NAC as well with some members claiming the Bill in its current shape was more tended to please the civil society rather than address the concerns of the government.
