FOR CHILDREN
Basic Human Needs
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Act (MGNREGA),
Housing for poor,
Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) and
National Rural Health Mission (NHRM) provide
social security net for unorganized sector.
Right now we have Targeted Public Distribution
Programme (TPDS) for ration card holders BPL
and APL categories,
Antodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) for poorest among
the poor1,
Annapurna Yojna2 (AY) for poor senior citizens
above age of 65 years,
Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) for
children below six years of age and
Mid Day Meal (MDM) programme for children up
to upper primary level meet food security need of
different sections of our population.

CHILD PROTECTION
• Despite all the talk of our national food security, pockets
of Food Insecurity in large numbers remain a sad reality.
• Enough food being produced nationally (in the
aggregate sense), there being enough buffer stocks held
in godowns of the government.
• A policy of making available food to vulnerable sections
of society, through the PDS and a plethora of
government programmes, aimed at eliminating Food
Insecurity, Food Insecurity still persists at the community
level.
Spread of basic education and literacy,
both of which will increase physical and
economic access to food, by not only
increasing the capability of the people but
also encouraging them to use birth control
measures.
