This has been attributed to a number of factors, including a strong public distribution system (PDS), a focus on agriculture, and social welfare schemes.<\/p>\n<p>The PDS is a network of government-run shops that provide subsidized food grains to low-income households. This has helped to ensure that everyone has access to affordable food, even during times of economic hardship.<\/p>\n<p>The government has also focused on increasing agricultural production and productivity. This has been done through a number of measures, such as providing subsidies for inputs, such as seeds and fertilizers, and investing in irrigation and other infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the government has implemented a number of social welfare schemes that provide direct assistance to the poor, such as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), which guarantees 100 days of paid work to every rural household, and the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), which provides a bank account, a debit card, and access to insurance and other financial services to all Indian households.<\/p>\n<p>These measures have helped to reduce poverty and improve food security in Odisha.
