| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | The right to food and freedom from hunger re-emerged during 1990s. The historical World Food Summit was held in Rome in 1996, in which 185 countries participated and signed the ‘Rome Declaration on World Food Security’ which reaffirmed the right of everyone to have access to safe and nutritious food. Consequently, the right to adequate food is recognized as a fundamental human right. This book attempts to examine the penetration of various government food security schemes like PDS, ICDS, MDM, MGNERGS, in the selected villages in addition to the capacity of the agriculture and allied sector activities to meet the livelihood requirements of the rural populace. This study reveals the level of awareness of the beneficiaries about the government sponsored schemes and programmes meant for development implemented in these areas. |
