Food security in a nation is contingent on the availability, accessibility, and affordability of nutritious food for all citizens. Vulnerable populations, particularly those below the poverty line, face chronic and seasonal hunger exacerbated by natural disasters and economic challenges. Government interventions through programs like the Public Distribution System (PDS) and various poverty alleviation initiatives play a crucial role in enhancing food security, alongside cooperative efforts that facilitate food access across different strata of society.
