Is Bihar the new poster boy for PDS reforms?
Food security is a critical issue and Bihar has made remarkable progress over the years. The aim of this project was to document the supply side reforms in Bihar’s PDS and explain why or why not these changes have been effective. The project tries to understand the level of leakage in PDS after implementation of National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013.
