This framework note on the draft food security bill released by Sonia Gandhi headed National Advisory Council attempts to build a strong system of grievance redressal for all food-related schemes, to ensure that food entitlements are realised.

The National Food Security Act is envisaged as a path-breaking legislation, aimed at protecting all children, women and men from
hunger and food deprivation. Aside from creating new food entitlements, the Act would place a range of existing food-related schemes on a new footing and set new standards of transparency
and accountability for social programmes.
