The problems of the functioning of ration shops are as follows:
(i) Diverting the grains to open market to get better margin.
(ii) Selling poor quality grains.
(iii) Irregular opening of the shops.
(iv) Finding ration shops regularly with unsold stocks of poor quality grains. When ration shops are unable to sell, a massive stock of food grains piles up with the FCI.
(a) Minimum Support Price: The FCI purchases wheat and rice from the farmers in states where there is surplus production. The farmers are paid a pre-announced price for their crops. This price is called Minimum Support Price. The MSP is declared by the government every year before the sowing seasonRead more
(a) Minimum Support Price: The FCI purchases wheat and rice from the farmers in
states where there is surplus production. The farmers are paid a pre-announced price for their crops. This price is called Minimum Support Price. The MSP is declared by the government every year before the sowing season to provide incentives to the farmers for raising the
production of these crops. The purchased food grains are stored in granaries.
(b) Buffer Stock: Buffer stock is the stock of food grains, namely wheat and rice
procured by the government through food corporation of India (FCI).
(c) Issue Price : The buffer stock is created to distribute food grains in the deficit areas and among the poorer strata of society at a price lower than the market price also known as the Issue Price.
(d) Fair Price Shops : Ration shops. also known as Fair Price Shops, keep stock of
Food grains, sugar and kerosene oil for cooking. These items are sold to people at a price lower than the market price. Any family with a ration card can buy a stipulated amount of these items every month from the nearby ration shop.
This is done to distribute food grains in the deficit areas and among the poorer strata of society at a price lower than the market price also known as Issue price. This also helps resolve the problem of shortage of food during adverse weather conditions or during the periods of calamity.

When a copper wire is left in silver nitrate solution, it is observed that the solution turns bluish green. (a) Explain the observation. (b) Write the balanced chemical equation to represent the change taking place.
(a) Copper is higher than silver in the activity series of metals. It displaces silver from silver nitrate and forms copper nitrate which gives a bluish green colour in the solution. (b) Cu(s) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) ⟶ Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
