griha shobha magazine subscription published Article TPDS has failed in transferring cereals from surplus to deficit regions Prior to targeting PDS distribution reflected demand as it was more attractive in areas of low cereal production low cereal consumption and high cereal prices. The policy of targeting and allocation of grain on the basis of the income poverty line has worked against the earlier objective of price stabilisation through grain movements across the country. Further in the universal PDS automatic stabilisation was ensured as demand for grain from fair price shops increased at a time when the gap between the PDS price and the market price rose. Again in the new system with APL priced out of the PDS and BPL quotas low and fixed the ability to undertake stabilisation has been weakened.
