Facing difficulty in procuring large quantities of rice required to fulfill its poll guarantee, the state government on Wednesday decided to pay cash into the beneficiaries accounts at the rate of Rs 34 per kilo, for the additional 5kg of rice under the free rice scheme.
The Karnataka government plans to roll out the Anna Bhagya scheme, which aims to provide 5 kg of rice to every member of a BPL household. However, as there is insufficient rice available, the government has decided to credit money to the beneficiaries bank accounts instead. In addition to rice, the government also plans to include 2 kg of ragi and jowar in different regions of the state, as these grains are considered staples there.
