Detailed Solution

Ration shops are also called fair price shops since they keep stock of foodgrains and issue them at reasonable rates.
Public distribution systems are those systems where the food procured by the FCI is distributed through government-regulated ration shops among the poorer sections of society. Nowadays, ration shops are present in all localities: villages, towns, and cities. There are various programs presented by Poverty Alleviation Programmes (PAPs) in rural areas that have explicit food components. This system was again aimed at in the 1960s to tackle the shortage of food.
