The Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi
today gave its approval for allocation of additional foodgrains to all
beneficiaries of National Food Security Act for two additional months of
May and June this year. The announcement towards allocation of
additional foodgrain under the third phase of Pradhan Mantri Garib
Kalyan Anna Yojana for another period of 2 months was made by the Centre
last month. The Cabinet today gave its ex-post facto approval to this
decision under which 5 kilograms of rice or wheat per person per month
will be given to about 80 crore beneficiaries in the country.
The relief measure announced by the Centre
to ensure proper nutrition and food to every person will cost nearly 26
thousand crore to it in terms of food subsidy.
