Abstract: In this present paper, we focused on policies for ensuring food security at national and household level. Food is the basic need for human beings. In the present time, non availability of sufficient food intake and its shortage is the matter of global issue and severely affect the multitude of weaker section of population. In the past, there were lots of famines and natural calamities which affected badly the food condition in and around the world. In the great Bengal famine of 1943, Bengal was short of land to feed its population of 60 million. Food production was not sufficient for increasing population of 1 milllion in a year. Moreover, Ethiopian famines of 1973-75, famines in the Sahel region of Africa during the early 1970s, and Bangladesh famine of 1974 are examples of such famines which were caused by sudden and sharp decline in food availability and affected the entitlements of the poor (Sen, 1981).
