The full form of PDS is the Public Distribution System. It is a part of the food security mission under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. It is a joint venture of the state and central governments. The central government's responsibility is collecting, transporting, and storing grains. The distribution of ration cards through verification of families, as well as supervision of Fair Price Shops, falls within the responsibilities of the state governments. PDS ensures that food is available to the poor at reasonable prices. It also keeps aside buffer stocks for the seasons when crop production is low.
