“The PDS in Telangana provides 6 kilograms of free rice per person to 2.8 crore beneficiaries. As part of its efforts to support vulnerable groups, the Congress government also supplies free fortified rice to 49 lakh students, inmates, and beneficiaries through the midday meal program, hostels, and Anganwadi kendras. This initiative ensures both food security and improved nutrition,” Uttam Kumar Reddy said in a media statement on Tuesday.
To further enhance the quality of food grains distributed under the PDS, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Congress government has decided to introduce a superfine variety of food grains for families below the poverty line (BPL).
