State Bureau, Naiduniya, Bhopal: Now ration material will not be carried forward in Madhya Pradesh. The ration material of the month will now be available in the same month. According to the new instructions issued by the Government of India regarding the food grains to be distributed under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, now a time limit has been set to distribute ration material to eligible families from 1st to 31st of every month.
Food, Civil and Consumer Protection Minister Govind Singh Rajput has said that now ration material will be available in the same month for which it is available. This system has been started from August. In August, ration material has been distributed to one crore 17 lakh 53 thousand eligible families.
The names of those who do not take ration are pasted
In the July ration material allocation, last month’s ration was distributed to about seven lakh 96 thousand families from August 1 to 15. Along with this, August’s ration was also distributed to these families.
A list of names of about one lakh 74 thousand families who were not receiving ration regularly for the last six months has been pasted at fair price shops so that they can get ration in August. SMS were sent to 13 lakh 33 thousand 470 eligible families who were not receiving ration from fair price shops till 25th August to get ration.
These will be the benefits of this ration distribution system
Food Minister Rajput said that through this ration distribution system, eligible families received the allotted ration in August itself. There was no need to wait for the next month to receive ration. Due to the stoppage of ration distribution in the next month (carry forward), irregularities in ration distribution from fair price shops (giving one month’s material instead of two months) have been stopped.
The Government of India will be able to pay the subsidy amount on the quantity of ration material distributed to Madhya Pradesh State Civil Supplies Corporation (MPSCSC) on a monthly basis. Distribution of ration material in the allotted month will facilitate storage of ration material for the next month at fair price shops.
14 lakh 38 thousand 630 families got ration through inter district portability
In August, under the “One Nation-One Ration Card”, ration was received by 3,644 families from other states in Madhya Pradesh and 34 thousand 667 families from other states in the state and 14 lakh 38 thousand 630 families through inter-district portability. This is more than in July.
As per the allocation of August, in the districts where the availability of ration material was less, about 25 thousand 600 MT wheat and rice was transported from other districts and stored at supply centers. Ration material was distributed to elderly consumers at their homes. This was monitored at the state level.
