The food procured by FCI is supplied to the poor through the ration shops which have been set-up in most of the localities, villages, towns and cities. This is a part of the Public Distribution System (PDS) which is the most important step taken by the government towards ensuring food security in the country.
But recently, many problems have crept up in the functioning of the ration shops.
These are
(i) The quality of the rationed articles issued to the poor is much less than what it should be. As a result, the poor have to depend on the market for their needs.
(ii) Some of the ration shop dealers resort to malpractices. They illegally divert the grains to the open market for better gains.
(iii) Some of the ration shop dealers sell only poor quality of grains.
(iv) Some dealers do not open their shops regularly and the poor people cannot draw their ration quota timely.
(v) Still others weigh less and cheat the illiterate poor.
(vi) Some ration shops are unable to sell their poor quality grains, which become a great headache for FCI.
(vii) With the introduction of colour coded cards and three different, prices for the same articles to different categories of people, the whole system of PDS has become more complicated.
(viii) The APL card holders get very little discount at the ration shops because of which they have lost their interest to buy these articles from the ration shops.

The Himalayas influence the Indian Climate in the following manner:
1) Himalayas act as natural barriers to the extremely cold winds from Central Asia and enables North India to have more or less uniform and comfortable temperatures.
2) They act as a barrier to the south west monsoon in summer and precipitates heavy rain on the country.
3) Most of the glaciers feeding the Indian rivers are located in the Himalayas.
4) Himalayas are the source of many perennial rivers and their tributaries.

India is a vast country with varied topography. On the north the Himalayas protect the sub-continent from the extreme cold winds of Central Asia. This enables northern India to have uniformly higher temperatures as compared to other areas on the same latitudes. Similarly the peninsular plateau, under the influence of sea from three sides, has moderate temperatures. Despite such moderating influences there are great variations in the temperature conditions.
Nevertheless, the unifying influence of the monsoons on the Indian subcontinent is quite perceptible. The Indian landscape, its animal and plant life, the agriculture calendar and the life of the people including their festivities and economic conditions revolve around the monsoon. Year after year, the people of India from North to South and from East to West eagerly await the arrival of the monsoon. These monsoon winds bind the whole country by providing water to set the agricultural activities. Thus, in view of the above the monsoon is considered as a unifying bond for this subcontinent.

With the growing demand for rubber in the mid-nineteenth century, the Mundurucu peoples of the Brazilian Amazon who lived in villages on high ground and cultivated manioc, began to collect latex from wild rubber trees for supplying to traders. Gradually, they descended to live in trading posts and became completely dependent on traders.
