Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) a part of the Poverty Alleviation Programme of Indian Government. This scheme was introduced in 1997. PDS, a rationing instrument, which entitle, households to specific quantities, essential commodities selected and food grains at reasonable prices to BPL, APL and AAY families. The present study focused on the Performance of TPDS in Karnataka in recent years and food security supporting an ambitious new Annabhagya scheme was introduced. The scheme consists of brief information on different aspects of Annabhagya Programme working details. So, these programmes present merits and demerits across the states. It throws light on some Problems suggestions policy measures for its better working in Karnataka.
The GCA and SCA variance in combining ability analysis among the crosses involving 11 sweet corn inbreds was significant for all the traits studied. The additive and nonadditive gene effects were found predominant for all the traits. Inbred lines IPSA-8761, IPSA-8761, IPSA-8752, IPSA-8757 and IPSA-8754 were identified as good general combiners for different traits. Specific crosses namely, IPSA-8753 x IPSA-8755, IPSA-8753 x IPSA-8761, IPSA-8754 x IPSA-8758 and IPSA-8756 x IPSA-8758 had significant SCA effects and were identified for various flowering and maturity traits whereas IPSA-8755X IPSA-8758 and IPSA-8754X IPSA-8757 showed significant SCA effect for ear weight with husk, without husk and sugar content. The hybrid IPSA-8753 x IPSA-8759 also showed significant SCA effect for the main sweet corn traits referring to green ear weight without husk and sugar content. These findings could serve as crucial inputs required for improvement of sweet corn.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
