-Press release by Right to Food Campaign Secretariat dated 23rd May 2021

Against the backdrop of rise in Covid-19 daily new deaths across the country and local level lockdowns being imposed by various State Governments, India is once again witnessing severe economic distress amongst its working class. The livelihood and food security crisis that is being faced by the poor, daily wage workers and the informal sector workers of the country has been completely invisibilised with hardly any special packages being announced by the Central Government.

News reports indicate that 13.09 million tonnes of non-basmati rice, 4.63 million tonnes of basmati rice and 2.09 million tonnes of wheat were exported in 2020-21, a year when millions of Indians faced a situation of hunger and food insecurity. The Right to Food Campaign in its press statement has condemned the export of foodgrain and has demanded Universalisation of the Public Distribution System.
