Bare Act

The Chhattisgarh Food and Nutrition Security Act, 2012

This Act enshrines the right to food and nutrition for the people of Chhattisgarh by regulating the delivery of subsidised food grains to eligible residents through the Public Distribution System. It specifically targets vulnerable households, including those below the poverty line, supplementing their diet with maternity benefits and child development services. The law matters because it creates a robust legal framework to combat hunger and malnutrition, ensuring that the state's most disadvantaged communities have reliable access to adequate food and healthcare support.
