I congratulate the writer for highlighting the issue of food insecurity in India and the much needed food security act at a very important time to sensitise the policy makers. As it is enshrined in article 21 and 47 of the constituion of right to life and state responsibility of raising the nutrition and standard of living, the right to food act shall go a long way in ensuring the availability of food to all citizens of the country. As it has been experienced with regard to other legislations and acts, it is of paramount importance to develop a fool proof implementation framework to see that not a single person is spared from the ambit of the provisions and scope of corruption etc is minimised ( most food programmes suffer from the corruption)
