Objectives of the study are : (a) analysis of effectiveness of implementation of Raskin Program in the year of 2007, (b) analysis of poor families (RTM)'s perception on the perspective of increasing normative price of raskin, and (c) formulation of recommendation for more effective implementation of the Raskin rogram. The study reveals that the program is less effective. In all study areas, RTMs paid a much higher price for raskin that its normative rice quota (10 Kgs/RTM/month) It is also found that RTMs were willing to pay if the government increased the normative price of raskin . However , their willingness to pay is subject to two conditions, namely (a) the newly-established normative price is the price at RTMs hose and (b) monthly quota is raised to 20 Kgs/RTM/month as previously. To make the program more effective, this study recommends the government to develop a village - level system control for the Raskin program , to raise monthly rice quota of RTM and its normative price and to share the program's cost with distric-level governments. |
