The enactment of the National Food Security Act, (NFSA) 2013 on July 5, 2013, marks a paradigm shift in the approach to food security from welfare to a Rights-based approach.
The Act legally entitles up to 75% of the rural population and 50% of the urban population.
It is to facilitate subsidized foodgrains under the Targeted Public Distribution System.
About two-thirds of the population, therefore, are covered under the Act to receive highly subsidized foodgrains.
The National Food Security Act, (NFSA) 2013 is being implemented in all the States/UTs, on an all-India basis.
Out of maximum coverage of 81.35 crores, around 80 crore persons have been covered under NFSA at present for receiving highly subsidized foodgrains.
The identification of beneficiaries by States/UTs is a continuous process, which involves exclusion of ineligible/fake/duplicate ration cards and also exclusion on account of death, migration, etc., and inclusion on account of birth as also that of genuine left-out households.

Environmental Kuznets curve –
The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) is a relationship between environmental quality and economic development.
According to this theory, many indicators of environmental degradation tend to get worse as modern economic growth occurs until average income reaches a certain point over the course of development.
In other words, the environmental Kuznets curve suggests that economic development initially leads to a deterioration in the environment, but after a certain level of economic growth, a society begins to improve its relationship with the environment, and levels of environmental degradation reduce.
The EKC suggests that the solution to pollution is economic growth.
