Food Security Schemes

The availability and accessibility of food by each individual

through Government sponsored schemes is termed as food

security. The state has to ensure that all its citizens are living

without hunger, starvation and malnutrition, which is rampant

among the small children and women living in the rural & tribal

areas. The State ensures the access of the people to adequate

food, further sees that enterprises or individuals do not deprive

anyone of their access to food. It also proactively engages in

strengthening people and utilization of their resources for their

livelihoods including food security. Throughout the world, India has the

Government sponsored food security schemes available for the poor an

The question of small children not getting

appropriate primary education needs to be

analyzed from different points and perspectives.

The problem of lack of education or not getting

quality education is somehow related to the

living conditions of the family to which the child

belongs. In many rural and tribal areas, dropout

rate is very high especially amongst the girlchildren. The main cause of it is the

impoverished conditions of the family. Even in

some cases the children are engaged in domestic works. Even though

admitted in the schools, they do not find the teaching-learning process in

of inadequate teaching materials and out-dated teaching methods. All t

Livelihood Schemes

The living condition of the peoplemainly depends on their livelihood. People

are impoverished, as they have no

substantial sources of livelihood. In Orissa

a major chunk of population depends on

traditional sources of livelihood including

agriculture, income generation based

occupation, small business etc. The role ofthe Government is to protect promote and

support the people and provide them

access to livelihood. There are a number

of livelihood based schemes implemented

in Orissa both by the State and Central

Government. Some of these are related to

agriculture and some to other allied

activities whose primary focus is to promote livelihood through an integ

Gender inequity is a major issue

needs to be handled carefully.
