‘On crucial sectors, the govt. not only sustained the expenditure, but also stepped it up’
The pandemic led to a more than 80% rise in the expenditure of the State government on food and civil supplies during seven months of the current financial year, over the corresponding period in 2019-20.
Between April and October, the government spent ₹11,384 crore to ensure the steady supply of essentials through the public distribution system, as against an expenditure of ₹6,254 crore in 2019, an official in the Finance Department said.
Among the measures taken by the government were the provision of free ‘tur dal’, edible oil and sugar, along with rice, to all cardholders from April to July; cash support of ₹1,000 each to cardholders across the State; another ₹1,000 to cardholders in badly-hit districts in June, and the doubling of rice entitlement, even to non-priority household cards, up to November.
