Published By: IIMA on eSS | Published Date: August, 01 , 2012

This paper analyses the trends in volume of food subsidy in the post-reforms period (1991-92 to 2012-13) and then examines various components of food subsidy, which are under the control of FCI and those beyond the control of FCI, and relative contribution of these components to total subsidy during the last decade. Broad policy options for containing food subsidy are also suggested in the paper. [IIMA W.P. No.2012-08-02]. URL:[http://www.iimahd.ernet.in/assets/snippets/workingpaperpdf/5337679172012-08-02.pdf].
