政府援助计划现在是许多印度村民的主要生计来源。村庄所需的政府消费补贴水平和政府提供这些补贴的实际能力，在为应对干旱而提供的紧急救济中得到了最好的体现。本文试图从四个方面对政府-村庄粮食分配制度作为干旱紧急情况下个人生存安全保障的评估。这些问题包括：在饥荒期间，传统上在村庄家庭内部和之间进行的制度化粮食分享的程度;传统的粮食分享模式在现代印度历史时代的生存;在危机期间，政府机构接管或补充村庄粮食管理系统的责任下放;紧急援助和发展规划的互补性。
Government assistance programs are now a major source of subsistence for many Indian villagers. The level of government consumption subsidies required by villages and the government's actual capacity to deliver these subsidies are matters best seen in the case of emergency relief provided in response to droughts. This paper attempts an assessment of the government-village food distribution system as a guarantor of individual subsistence security in drought emergency situations in terms of four issues. These include the extent of institutionalized food sharing traditionally taking place within and between village households during a famine; the survival of traditional food sharing patterns into the era of modern Indian history; the responsibility devolving on agencies of government as far as taking over or supplementing the village food management system during a crisis; and the complementarity of emergency assistance and development planning.
