About TNPDS

Such an initiatory was taken in charge since poverty is a relative concept. There is no acceptable criterion or methodology for error-free reckoning, as the indexing method is also not defect-free.

Agencies involved in the TNPDS (Tamilnadu Public Distribution System) operation are

Civil supplies and consumer protection department:

The Tamil Nadu government’s mission is to authorise all of the state’s consumer sections to get a deal to purchase goods and services in Tamil Nadu and preserve consumer rights.

Tamil Nadu, a civil supplies corporation, brings up necessary goods from the Food Corporation of India and stores them in 226 go-downs situated all over the state. It supplies all the food to the ration cardholders.

Food Corporation of India:
