The vanishing food stock
by atindra saha on Apr 18, 2008 01:07 PM

Sir,
With due regards all written is true but the irony is that our babus magaging the (dis)functional or malfunctional PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM should note that the grain is rotting in the godown and no one to see that the stock reaches out to the most needy.
The genesis of the problem is the licence permit culture which has allowed the sleeping beauraucrats to go away scotfree and without any accountibility.
Apart from that the pay commission has made the matter worse by increasing the salary of the public servants without taking into account the contribution made by them to the soceity at large for which they are appointed.When more money comes into the economy the inflationary trend is bound to happen which raises the price of the commodities for which foodgrain is one of them.
Last but not the least the agricultural growth in our country has remaied static and the population groth continues unabated in the hindi heartland which is also responsible gor the mess
