2010-02-22 Poor may get coarse grains with wheat, rice

Seeking to broadbase the concept of food security, the UPA government is actively considering whether to include coarse grains along with wheat and rice in the food grains basket to be distributed to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) population in the proposed Food Security Act (FSA).

As of now, in addition to rice and wheat under the Minimum Support Price operations, sizeable quantities of coarse grains like bajra, maize, jowar and ragi also get procured for the central pool in some states, official sources said and pointed out that depending upon the willingness of the government to distribute them under the Targeted Public Distribution Scheme, allocations are made. However, in the Presidential address, it was mentioned that 25 kg of rice or wheat would be ensured to every BPL family, but for all practical purposes, it is highly desirable to include coarse grains also under food grains to be distributed to them, he said.

2010-02-24 The Hindu : Business News : Poverty estimates vs food entitlements

However, poverty estimation is one thing, and social support is another. The main purpose of the BPL Census is to identify households eligible for social support, notably through the Public Distribution System (PDS) but also, increasingly, in other ways. In deciding the coverage of the BPL Census, allowance must be made not only for targeting errors, which can be very large, but also for other considerations, including the fact that under-nutrition rates in India tend to be much higher than poverty estimates. This gap is not so surprising, considering that the official poverty line is really a destitution line. The consumption basket that can be bought at the poverty line is extremely meagre. It was an important contribution of the NCEUS report to point out that even a moderately enhanced poverty line basket, costing

The BLS has classified the expenditures that go into this basket into more than 200 categories, arranged into eight major groups: food and beverages, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education and communication, and other goods and services. Some categories, such as gasoline, are weighted greater than others, depending on the overall spending habits of consumers. Housing expenditures, for instance, consume about 40 percent of the BLS and rsquo;s basket.

The CPI is one of the most important economic measurements because it has a direct impact on things like welfare payments and wage adjustments for millions of workers. With government assistance, for example, over 50 million people receiving Social Security, and military and Federal Civil Service retirees, have cost-of-living adjustments tied to the CPI. Same goes for food-stamp recipients. Even within the proposed health-insurance legislation, one major point of contention has been where to set an excise tax on
