It is shown why poor people in rural areas could not avail the public work, food and nutrition programme that had been existence in varying forms since the 1960s and 1970s. People’s Union for Civil Liberties filed public interest litigation in the Supreme Court on behalf of the public who could not avail of the services and died of hunger. After that the court ordered the government to provide the required services. This book provides answers different questions relating to food security which were elaborated by the policy makers, academic advisory bodies and civil societies. This part describes why there was a need for a law regarding the right to food for the poor, specifically in rural areas. Swain and Kumaran in 2012 found in their survey of public distribution system and Integrated Child Development Services programme that the poor people are denied access to these services due to discrimination on the basis of caste, gender and religion. In the ration shops they found that the lower quantities of foodgrains were distributed and charged high. This part also discusses the judgments of the Supreme Court under Article 21.
