The following is a poster made by the Right to food campaign.


Read this poster and list the duties of the government to uphoid the Right to Food.


How does the phrase “Hungry stomachs, overflowing godowns! We will not accept it!” used in the poster relate to the photo essay on the Right to Food?

Constitution of India grants the citizens the Right to live and thi right to live is closely associated with the Right to Food. The main duties of the government to uphold the Right to Food are as following:

(a) First and most important point is that they aim to provide at least minimum food item to the people either totally free or by charging very nominal cost.


(b) Their second duty is to check the hoarding of wheat, rice, sugar.


(c) They also aim to provide mid-day meals to the poor-children in the school.


‘Hungry stomachs, overflowing godowns’ is not at all acceptable in a civilized society. If people do not get food or if they are not able to complete fill their hungry stomach then they attempt to commit crimes.
