Abstract: This article aims to examine India’s food security system and what kind of challenges are being posed with the spread of Covid 19 virus. In this study we will be assessing the role of subsidised public distribution system (PDS) of basic food and non-food commodities in India and further the shift from welfare to right based approach adopted by the Indian government by passing the National Food Security Act (NFSA 2013). For this purpose we will be looking at the decadal population growth and growth of the food grains production of India. We will attempt to understand the relationship between food production and food availability in Indian context. An exploratory methodology has been adopted with comprehensively reviewing the available literature, including government reports , research papers, and reports of international organisations such as United Nations and world bank in the relevant field.
