There are more than 200 million hungry and malnourished people in India, despite it being one of the largest grain producers in the world.

The government has a food security programme under which millions are entitled to subsidised grain.

But every year, tons of food goes to waste because of faulty storage facilities and an incompetent public distribution system.
