We need food security today, more than ever before, because of the reasons detailed below:

(i) Food and shelter are basic necessities of life; a democratic form of governance must take care of these needs.

(ii) During natural calamities like drought, earthquake, flood, tsunami, etc total production of food grains decreases. It creates a shortage of food and the prices go up. At the high prices, some people can not afford to buy food. Thus, it can be concluded that food security is essential in India.

(iii) The benefits of our economic progress should enable us to feed all our citizens.
