The decentralised procurement scheme of the Government of India is in operation since 1997. Under this scheme, the designated States procure, store and also issue foodgrains as per allotments indicated by the Central Government under TPDS. The difference between the economic cost of the State Governments and the Central Issue Price is passed on to the State Governments as subsidy. The decentralised system of procurement, apart from helping to cover more farmers under the MSP of the Central Government, has the merit of economising the transport and administrative costs involved in procurement and distribution operations. Further, it helps in minimising the dependence of State Governments on the FCI for PDS requirements and reducing the complaints about quality, as consuming States themselves are the custodians of the procured foodgrains
