India being a third world country and that to the second most populous one suffers from critical level of Food Scarcity and lack of Food Security. The right to food is indivisibily related to his dignity of the person and is the basic human right. With the indepenedence of the world biggest democracy there has been a problem to feed it. The right is also very much interlinked to social justice, which requires the proper measures of appropriate economic, social policies, and invironmental protection at the international and national levels which are purported for the purpose of eradication of poverty, measures to control population explosion and basic fulfilment of the all human rights. The United Nations, nongovernmental agencies, governments, have all been actively participating in providing a foundation for international and national efforts on behalf of the right to adequate food for all. This understanding of food security includes the idea thataccess to food includes not just physical availability and affordabilitybut also requires that individuals do not face social barriersin feeding themselves which is a major sourceof concern in India. This paper is an attempt to ponder upon the problem whithin the current scenario of Right to Food in India. Top Keywords Poverty, Population, Social Justice, Human Right, Food Securtiy. Top |
