Abstract
The study finds that the PDS will need to be expanded and better targeted to reach the poor; however this will have to be supplemented by better monitoring and answerability of the PDS shops to the public, and more decentralized system. Improving the functioning of the FCI is another important aspect of reform as is a better geographical spread of both purchases and off take.
