But in this, Tamil Nadu deserves credit for finishing at the top among 17 large States for food safety; it was ranked third in the previous edition of the State Food Safety Index. That Tamil Nadu, with 82 marks, is ahead of Gujarat by 4.5 marks and Maharashtra by 12 marks, highlights its <strong>creditable (Worthy of often limited commendation) <\/strong>showing. Developed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the Food Safety Index evaluates States and Union Territories on these parameters, apart from their size: human resources and institutional data; <strong>compliance (Acting according to certain accepted standards)<\/strong>; food testing \u2013 infrastructure and <strong>surveillance (Close observation of a person or group)<\/strong>; training and capacity building, and consumer empowerment. Tamil Nadu has improved its standing in \u2018human resources and institutional data\u2019, and \u2018training and capacity building\u2019. There has been <strong>incremental (Increasing gradually by regular degrees or additions) <\/strong>progress in \u2018compliance\u2019 (which measures overall coverage of food businesses in licensing and registration), and \u2018food testing\u2019 (which <strong>scrutinises (To look at critically or searchingly, or in minute detail) <\/strong>availability of adequate testing infrastructure with trained manpower in the States\/Union Territories for testing food samples). The State has performed marginally lower than what it did last year in \u2018consumer empowerment\u2019. But <strong>barring (except) <\/strong>Tamil Nadu, there is nothing for the other southern States to cheer about despite the region being more advanced than the rest of India in many socio-economic indicators. Kerala, which came second last time, is now at sixth spot; Karnataka has retained its ninth position; Telangana slipped from 10 to 15 and Andhra Pradesh dropped to the last slot from the <strong>penultimate (Second last) <\/strong>slot in the previous edition when 20 States were covered, unlike the 17 now. Among Union Territories, Puducherry rose from seventh to sixth spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in an area such as food safety, States alone cannot make a big difference without the support of the Central government. <strong>Liberal (Showing or characterized by broad-mindedness) <\/strong>assistance should be provided to the States and Union Territories as far as laboratory infrastructure and improvement of manpower, both technical and non-technical, are concerned. The private sector should come forward in a big way to have staff trained at their cost and where such persons are used productively for the purpose. There are inspiring accounts of the participation of some information technology majors in getting surplus food distributed to the needy, of course with the help of non-governmental organisations, and this should serve as a lesson to those who are still <strong>hesitant (unable to act or decide quickly or firmly) <\/strong>to make their contribution. What every player in the field of food safety should realise is that each one has a critical role to play, and there has to be collective and well-coordinated action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/government\/ssc-mts\/?refcode=4392&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Jun+9%2C+2022%3B+Day+307_090622_SSCMTSM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SSCMTSM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SSC_MTS_Free_Mock-1-1024x128.png\" alt=\"SSC_MTS_Free_Mock\" class=\"wp-image-20503\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2006,11,25,15,8,5,603,694,1987,19,31,49,16,23,1938,1934,1734,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-20501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-delhi-police-head-constable","category-ibps-clerk","category-ibps-po","category-ibps-rrb-clerk","category-ibps-rrb-po","category-ibps-so","category-idbi-asst-manager","category-idbi-executive","category-karnataka-bank-clerk","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-clerk","category-sbi-po","category-ssc-cgl","category-ssc-chsl","category-ssc-cpo","category-ssc-gd-constable","category-ssc-mts","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Jun 9, 2022;
