Food Security bill: at a glance

 Food security scheme:  in this project it is mentioned that all the person can get rice,wheat ,etc  at a rate of 2 and 1 Rs/kg respectively.
It cover the 67% population that mean nearly 82crores of  people will be free from the diseases that causes due to insufficiency of food. In this 67% , 75 % are from urban areas and 50%  from the rural parts will be covered.
Around 1.30 lakh crores will invested for this project. It is equal to the  1% of the GDP. Now government is providing a sum of 90000 crores  as food subsidy via different projects.
After  wards  i.e after this project 40000 crores of extra sum will be needed to invest  in this project.
Totally around 6.2crore tons of grains will be needed.
The main noticeable point is the process of this plan that how it will come in force correctly. By FCI shops these subsidized grains will be made avail for the people.  Now itself FCI having 5lakhs of shops that can provide grain.
The main feature of this plan is that, according to  the central government is claiming about 82 crores people will free from hunger and malnutrition.
It is seen as a major empowerment for women. 
In this scheme the card is issued on the behalf of the most aged lady of a family. 
The main problem is our economy which is already got cracked in the recent months. Because of this scheme the total economy loss will be the 5% of the whole GDP which is a major disadvantage of this scheme.
To expand the public distribution system ( for this project) means to open a big market of corruption.

Also there are many problems between the central and state government policies which will effect negatively on this scheme. This project is good but whether it will be successful or not, it is a ?
