ABSTRACT: Nutritional justice is not merely sustenance, but the enjoyment of food with the basic nutritional quality required for the healthy functioning of the human body. Over the course of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, food security and nutritional justice has faced a threat due to the collapse of supply chains and food systems caused by systemic inequities and increased privatization. In India, the Central and State governments have largely sought to remedy the lack of access to food through distributing basic supplies through ration schemes. However, data has shown that the implementation of these schemes have been fraught with issues that prevent nutritional justice from being achieved. This paper will shed light on these schemes for low income communities and critically evaluate the successes and failures of the Indian and New Delhi state governments. The paper will then pose policy recommendations and best practices for improved implementation for the future of sustainable nutritional justice.
