Subsidized Food Plan Proposed In India
印度推行食品补贴计划
A new bill aimed at reducing hunger in India will be reviewed by India’s government this week. The Food Security Bill proposes that food is a legal right of the people. If passed, approximately 800,000,000 people in India will have access to cheap food. Under the program, the government would subsidize five kilograms of grain each month for two-thirds of the population in India. Grains would include rice, wheat and millet. The cost of the program would be approximately 1.3 trillion rupees ($23 billion).
为减少印度饥饿人口,政府将于本周对《国家食品安全法》进行审议。据该法案表示,饮食是人类的合法权利。若该法案顺利通过,约八亿印度人口将享受廉价食物。根据新法规定,政府每月将补贴五公斤粮食,并覆盖全国三分之二人口。粮食包括大米、小麦和小米。该项目将耗资1.3万亿卢比(230亿美元)。
