Food security entitlement act in India to provide food for the ppor | CalcuttaTube

Food security entitlement act in India to provide food for the ppor | CalcuttaTube: "India will soon be the first country in the world ‘to enact a food security entitlement act under which every family below the poverty line will get 35 kg of grain‘, says M.S. Swaminathan who is in Canada to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Alberta.

One of the pioneers of the Green Revolution in India, Swaminathan said India cannot depend on volatile global markets to ensure its food security and it will have to ramp up its own output.

Swaminathan will receive the honorary doctorate for his contribution to food security in the world."
