&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In a press statement dated 10th May, 2021, the Right to Food Campaign, a civil society group working for the elimination of hunger and undernutrition in the country, has expressed its shock and dismay over a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/universaling-pds-won-t-work-here-un-world-food-programme-india-head-121050600769_1.html&quot;&gt;recent interview&lt;/a&gt; given to Business Standard by Mr. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/universaling-pds-won-t-work-here-un-world-food-programme-india-head-121050600769_1.html&quot;&gt;Bishow Parajuli&lt;/a&gt;, India Country Director for United Nations World Food Programme, in which he said that &amp;ldquo;universalising the PDS ... might not be feasible as everyone in India does not need social protection.&amp;rdquo; However, the Right to Food Campaign is &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/RTFC%20Response%20to%20WFP%20Head%20on%20PDS%20Universalization%281%29.pdf&quot;&gt;pleased to note&lt;/a&gt; that Mr. Parajuli acknowledges the importance of a diverse diet that includes fresh vegetables, fruits, and eggs.&lt;/p&gt;

-Press release by Right to Food Campaign, dated 10th May, 2021 At a time when the country is facing the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic, the need for a universal food security system has become all the more important.
