The increasing trend in the supply of food grains is seen as the improvements in the food security in our country. In the context, the book is devoted to visualize the national food security scenario for the year 2005-06 and 2010-11 covering 17 major states viz Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The study also covers the estimations of per capita availability of food grains in the states and storage requirement of food grains at national level for the same time periods. The past trends were used to estimate the production of cereals and pulses separately, through the methods of regression, exponential and moving averages and other econometric applications based on their suitability. The book also focus on policy and planning implications as well as discusses the ways and approaches needs to be adopted in major states and at national level to enhance the level of food security.
