Food Security in India?

• Since the advent of the Green Revolution in the early-1970s, the country has avoided famine even during adverse weather conditions.
  
  
• The availability of food grains (even in adverse weather conditions or otherwise) at the country level has further been ensured with a carefully designed food security system by the government.
  
  
• This system has two components:
  
  (a) buffer stock, and
  
  (b) public distribution system.
