Arrange P, Q, R, S to give the correct sequence of the given paragraph.

P: India has about a third of the world's poor according to the World Bank and half of children below the age of five suffer from malnutrition.

Q: Economists say the food security law may also jeopardize development of the agriculture sector as it would further incentivise farmers to produce low-margin grains, rather than focusing on cash crops that could help raise rural living standards and reduce dependence on imports of some staples.

R: But critics say the program will further bloat the already expensive subsidy bill to around $20 billion and some contend that it is wrong to extend a food subsidy system that is already broken, blighted with corruption and in which much food never reaches many of those for whom it is intended.
