The main objective of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in India is "to distribute foodgrains at government-controlled prices to vulnerable sections." The PDS aims to provide essential commodities like wheat, rice, sugar, and more to consumers, particularly those belonging to economically weaker sections, at subsidized prices.
