Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the global economy, where India is the most affected economy. The crisis has an insignificant impact on the 2nd Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to get rid of desire by 2030. The most deprived society may have a significant threat of poor health and malnutrition as a society cannot access nutritious and sustainable diets. Thus, pandemic generates an income shock projected to increase unemployment, poverty, and household food insecurity. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to acquire the relevant evidence from literature about food security and food assistance programmes. A systematic review was conducted across Academia, EBSCO, Google Scholar, JSTORE, Pub Med, Springer, and Scopus, and a search was performed between March-August 2020 for the accretion. Food security systems and FAPs would be analyzed more comprehensively and suggests the prerequisite for the central and state government to carefully utilize both non-governmental and administrative interventions to drop the hunger rate and improve the food security status.
