In programs like this in many African countries, what happens is, middle bureaucrats hoard the low cost rice, then sell it to merchants at a higher price and pocket the difference; these merchants then sell it for full market price.
That explains it..its not the Govt apathy, its corruption. India produces enough to feed the population.we are not like North Korea depending on food aids. Also most of this problem happens in the 4 BIMARU states. Until people of these states wise and elect good honest people, they will languish at the bottom of the Indian society. Bihar is improving but cannot say for the other 3 states.
