Abstract

Public Distribution System (PDS) is an Indian food security system which aims at providing basic food grains to the poor people who cannot afford to purchase at normal retail rates. The PDS customers encounter various problems Viz., low quality product, under weighing, time delay, etc. In addition to these, the customers face non availability of products at the end of the month owing to artificial scarcity. This study had been undertaken with the objectives of examining and redressing the problems of public distribution system customers. The data required for the study was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data was collected from the customers of public distribution system using Interview Schedule. The total numbers of samples were 100. The government should take necessary steps to ensure the availability of products by regular checks and build proper warehouses to save the produces in order to strengthen the present public distribution system.
