6. “Food Security Act shouldn’t be seen as just another subsidy. If implemented well, it

has the potential to give a huge boost to the sagging economy.” Comment.

Approach:

♤ Explain the FSA – describe that it leads to substantial increase in subsidy

♤ Then explain that it’s not just another subsidy – if implemented in spirit, it would boost economy by

o Construction boom due to stepping up of construction of procurement, storage, transport facilities

o boosting rural demand

o Building productive human resource

♤ Finally conclude hence although it is costly – but the attempt is worth the cost. It’s

not only morally appropriate but makes economic sense as well.
