Food security is a situation that exists when all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Prioritizing and quantifying the contribution of food security related activities will help us in making fruitful decisions. Hence a study has been under taken with the objective to develop sustainable path in various contingent situations for agricultural development in general and food security in particular. Critical factors of input and allied component, central allocation component, climate and stocks component and storage component that were obtained through data reduction, were considered as independent variables to find out their direct and indirect contribution towards the household food security in India during 1991-92 to 2009-10. Annual central allocation on plantation (1.1731), expenditure incurred for food storage (1.2826) and poultry production (1.2332) were the factors that had significant direct affect and annual central allocation to agricultural research and education (-1.7980) had direct negative effect on household food security of India.
