The article provides lot of food for thought.The suggestion to give cooked food is good but in our system,even this is not workable as leakage of grains, vegetables and provisions and over charging of expenditures (leave alone hygienic conditions for cooking) to get the entire process of cooking done will be a comfortable loot by the politicians, middlemen and persons engaged in the final delivery.Dishonesty,lack of sincerity and commitment at the implementation level is the major problem in India and this can be tackled only through strict vigil, severe punishment,close monitoring and follow up with proper feed back from people intended to be fed.Chidambaram's job would be over on the sanction of amount towards food security and whether people get nutritious food will be the journalists' problem later..
