  • 5 years ago
New Delhi: The government on Tuesday said it will "try its level best" to secure the passage of the Food Security Bill in parliament.

The Food Security Bill, expected to be a game-changer for the ruling Congress ahead of five assembly polls this year-end and the 2014 general elections, aims to provide subsidised food grain at prices much below the market rate to around 67 percent of India's 1.2 billion people. The bill would thus benefit about 800 million people.
