Abstract:
Management of hunger has to look into issues of availability, accessibility and adequacy. Posing it from
an ethical perspective the paper argues out in favour of right to food. But, for this to happen, the state
has to come up with an appropriate and effective bill on food and nutrition security, address the issue of
inadequate provisioning of storage space by state agencies leading to rotting of foodgrains - a criminal
waste when people are dying of hunger, and rely on a bottom-up approach involving the community that
complements the top-down administrative structure to identify poor and reduce both exclusion and
inclusion errors in targeting.
