ANSWER
(1) India has become self-sufficient in food grains (as was its aim since Independence) during the last thirty years. This has been because of a variety of crops grown all over the country.
(2) The availability of food grains has been ensured by the government with the help of a carefully designed food-security system. This system involves the maintenance of a buffer stock of food grains, and the distribution of this food among the poorer sections of the society with the help of a public distribution system.
(3) The government has come up with several poverty-alleviation programmes that enhance food security; for example, mid-day meals and food-for-work.
