RIGHT TO FOOD

Right to Food
The South-West monsoon has arrived in India and this time along with rain showers we can feel showers of right. GOI is in the process of endowing its citizens with Right to Food.
Isn’t it a great initiative and a great achievement for the government?
Of course it is !!
Ho & Who will be fooled through this Right ?
Let’s analyze this right by looking at it from left.
First, RIGHT TO FOOD from Biological point of view
Almost all the organisms born on this earth have few indispensible needs for survival; like food to eat, air to breathe and water to drink.
Introduction of Right to food is the first progressive step in the direction to meet our indispensible needs to survive.
General mass “AAM ADMI” might have got bored with the feeling of high inflation in edible items. So, the channel been changed and now comes the flavor of the season THE RIGHT TO FOOD.
This is the first right, the moment AAM AADMI will start getting bored, within no time there will be sequels available with titles like-
• Right to Breathe Fresh Air
• Right to Drink Clean Water
• Right to Reproduce
.......................
................ and the list may go on like the saas bahu serial which are being loved by AAM AADMI.

Second, RIGHT TO FOOD from Economics point of view
A large chunk of the Human population work for the sake of food, if our Government is bringing rights like RIGHT TO FOOD and ensuring free food or food at a cheaper rate, then will there be any motivation to work among the working class? Who will do the labour intensive work like crop cultivation, and if crop will not be cultivated, then what will be offered in RIGHT TO FOOD?
The new challenge before the economist will be to find out the reasons why human beings should work.
 
Third, RIGHT TO FOOD from Supply chain point of view
According to the latest official estimate from Department of Agriculture and Co-operation, total aggregated production of Rice and Wheat is around 167.8 million Tonnes; whereas our population is hovering around 1.15 billion. This means the availability of fine cereals is around 400 gms per day per head, significantly lower than what is required for healthy living.
India is once more on the verge of being food grain deficit, and unfortunately these food grains cannot be printed like currency notes to meet the deficit. It needs to be imported to meet the claims made in RIGHT TO FOOD.
As of now, our supply (Production) side is not capable and vibrant enough to meet the increasing demand. But yet many are giving pat to each other for this great achievement. This initiative will buzz(y) where AAM AADMI will be fuzzy, and will hear the noise without getting hold of any signal. Meanwhile there will be another chance to rule and redesign strategies to make fool.
