• Economic and Social Impacts of Self-help Groups in India (2009, background): “6 Widespread leakages and mis-targeting associated with the public distribution system are well documented (Kochar 2005) and to the extent that they were able to overcome such inefficiencies in program administration, VOs could actually generate modest resources from implementing this program.”
• The bumpy road from food to nutrition security – Slow evolution of India's food policy (2017, background): “Studies which focused on the period before the recent PDS revival find that PDS did not have an impact on overall calorie intake (Kaushal and Muchomba, 2015; Kochar, 2005).”
