Public Distribution System has been in existence since the pre-independence era and continues to function to date supplying essential commodities to citizens at affordable prices across the country. The essential commodities in the form of food grains are supplied with joint efforts of the Central and State Governments of various states through a network of fair price shops. The operational efficiency of these fair price shops is crucial in reaching out to genuine eligible beneficiaries. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the operational efficiency of Fair Price Shops in the State of Goa. The study aims to develop a model to measure the operational efficiency of fair price shops operating in the State of Goa from the perception of beneficiaries. The data is collected from 500 beneficiaries across all the 12 talukas from the State of Goa. The sample size is selected proportionately on the basis of the total number of beneficiaries in each taluka. The data is analysed through Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. The present study is needed to strengthen the efforts of the government in ensuring food and nutritional security for citizens. Since fair price shops are instrumental in the supply chain of the public distribution system, the study on the efficiency of operating fair price shops will wipe out anomalies from the system. The present study will identify and analyse the factors leading to the Operational Efficiency of fair price shops in the Public Distribution System. The model developed to measure operational efficiency will help in achieving the mission of the government to ensure the availability of food grains at the right time, in the right quality, in the right quantity, at the right price and at the right place to the right beneficiaries in the country. |
