About This Dataset
This dataset contains a record of the allocation and offtake of foodgrains under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) for various states and Union Territories.
Data Quality
The dataset is complete for all 36 States/UTs plus a national aggregate. All numeric values are floats representing quantities (likely in LMT or TMT). Consistency between allocation and offtake is maintained across all years.
Use Cases
Analyzing the performance of the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS), identifying states with supply chain bottlenecks, correlating food offtake with local demand during crisis years, and policy evaluation for PMGKAY.
Limitations
The dataset does not provide a breakdown by commodity (e.g., Rice vs Wheat). The specific unit of measurement (Metric Tonnes) is not explicitly labeled in the headers but is standard for these reports.
Methodology
Compiled from administrative records of the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and the monthly performance reports of the Department of Food and Public Distribution.
