Introduction |
Public Distribution System (PDS)
in the country has undergone organic changes from the
rationing system introduced during World War II to one of the important social safety-net
programs to ensure food security for all in a scenario of self-sufficiency. Under
Public Distribution System, Central Govt. procures and supplies specified essential
commodities to Govt. of NCT of Delhi at fixed Central Issue Prices. The essential
commodities that may be sold through PDS are specified by gazette notification from
time to time. The prices at which these specified articles are sold are also notified
from time to time. In the past, a number of items like iodised salt, R.B.D. Palm
oil, candles, Panghat Ghee and control cloth etc. have been distributed through
the PDS.
The department also enforces provisions of Control Orders made u/s 3 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955
regulating trade in specified ,essential commodities by keeping a close watch on stocks, prices, quality and availability
of these commodities. Enforcement consists of collection of information and evidence of contravention of provisions of the
relevant Control Orders and action taken against them under the provisions of Essential Commodities Act.
