Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The Public Distribution System (PDS), also known as the PDS, is constructed by the Government of India via the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to ensure food security among the country's citizens. There is widespread criticism of this system and one of those criticisms is the presence of corruption. Due to the low price of the food stock, the fair price shop owners make it available to open markets where they can earn profits, leading to a decrease in food stock for the BPL people. Thus, due to the prevalence of corruption, some groups of people are still without food in India.
