The government has formulated schemes/action plans, including curb on demand from bulk consumers, shoring up of supply and rejuvenating distribution system, Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Minister Sharad Pawar said in Lok Sabha during the Question Hour.
"There is no specific proposal where one can provide a subsidy directly to the consumers. But in targeted Public Distribution System at every level there is a substantial provision of subsidy," he said.
In fact, Pawar said, this year the total burden of subsidy for PDS will be close to Rs 55,000 crore. "That burden is already taken by the government and this facility is available to all the states," he added.
On the issue of merging Forward Market Commission (FMC), a regulatory body for commodity markets, with market regulator SEBI, the minister said "no final view has been taken in this regard. There is a proposal in front of the government and an appropriate decision will be taken at an appropriate time."
Sanjay Nirupam (Cong) had asked the minister about the commodity markets being merged with the SEBI.

Inflation on Food Prices is the words that common man dose not like to listen . The reason that due to Inflation and sharp price rise in the Food prices has upset the homely budget of the common and the poor man . As the Union Government should not withdraw subsidy on food items so that the Poor and the common man may be benifitted to provide two time food to his family.
Sharad Pawar having gethered illgottan wealth is not proving any reliefs to the AAM ADMI The Govt will never enquire into his illgotton weath of him and his famikt and his conduies like Praful Patel and many like him.With what resouces he made a bid to bye over Carribien Shipping Lines even as the Defence Minister of the Country and his role in the arrest of Saghwi Pragnya Sing and others throgh his corrupt policemen!
Let this guy resign from the ministry and look after BCCI.
If direct payment is adopted for subsiding the poor than the pot bellied politicians like Pawar will starve to death.
