Over half the world's underweight children live in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, says a UNICEF report on the global progress on children's issues. About 5.6 million children worldwide die every year for lack of adequate nutrients. Today, 27 per cent of children in developing countries are underweight that's around 146 million children. 
In India, over the past 15 years the debate about food, under a rights-based perspective, has become increasingly complex. Earlier concerns about famines, emergency relief and technology-driven green revolutions have given way to discussions on the state's failure to deliver Public Distribution Programmes, the discriminatory biases these programmes perpetuate, legal entitlements to land use and ownership by men and women farmers, climate change, domestic and international price volatility and the role of non-governmental and social actors ~ from the media to NGOs, farmer's networks and social movements. In other words, the debate has shifted from starvation and subsistence to dignity and justice. Hence, the passage of the Food Securities Act.

As passed by the Parliament, Government has notified the National Food Security Act, 2013 on 10th September, 2013 with the objective to provide for food and nutritional security in human life cycle approach, by ensuring access to adequate quantity of quality food at affordable prices to people to live a life with dignity. The Act provides for coverage of up to 75 per cent of the rural population and up to 50 per cent of the urban population for receiving subsidized foodgrains under Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS), thus covering about two-thirds of the population. The eligible persons will be entitled to receive 5 Kgs of per person per month at subsidized prices of Rs. 312/1 per Kg for rice!wheat! coarse grains. The existing Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) households, which constitute the poorest of the poor, will continue to receive 35 Kgs of foodgrains per household per month.

'Challenges in Achieving Food Security in India' is a Book of Readings consisting of 22 articles covering a wide spectrum of issues related to Food Security in India. There are quite a few empirical studies such as 'Agriculture and Food Security in Tumkur District- An Overview'; 'Malnutrition in Rural Karnataka: A Sociological Analysis'; 'Public Distribution System in Karnataka - An Empirical Study of Anna Bhagya Scheme'.

The structure of this book is straight and simple. Every Government involved in responding food security for all should read the articles of this book.

Needless to say the utility of such books for the academia in the present context, I am sure this book will be a valuable source material for researchers and students of Indian Economy.
​
I whole heartedly compliment all the contributors of essays and particularly the editors Dr. S. C. Shivashankar, Dr. Mohan Das, Dr. M. Lingaraju, Mr. Ananda K. D. and Ms. Latha J. for their wonderful effort. I wish them a great success.
