    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also noted, as a Committee, that the BPS failed invariably to link the strategies aimed at reduction of poverty and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). We know that the cardinal goal of MDGs is food security. We also know that this country has had a cycle of drought, which means adequate plans must be made in advance to ensure that at times of scarcity, we have adequate food reserves. The Committee, therefore, observes that the BPS did not include the discussion on food security and, therefore, strongly recommends that as the Budget is finalized, there should be adequate provision made for building the required strategic food reserves, be they in the form of grains, milk powder or whatever else. But we should ideally take note of the food diversity of this country."
