PDS Scheme

Rice for all the selected beneficiaries at Re.1/- per kg
It has been an exemplary step on the part of the State Govt. to distribute rice at Re.1/- per kg under various State & centrally sponsored schemes. This initiative helps to mitigate the maladies of hunger deprivation and poverty. AAY scheme specifically caters to the need of the poorest of poor people living in urban & rural areas, who face difficulties to buy essential commodities even at a relatively lower price. At present rice at price of Re.1/- per kg is distributed among the targeted groups under following scheme from Feb’2013.
