Under PMGKY, the scheme to distribute 5 kg wheat or rice and 1 kg gram free every month will end on November 30.
Prime Minister Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY): Only a few days are left for the completion of Pradhan Mantri Gareeb Kalyan Ann Yojna. During the Corona virus epidemic, in March, the government announced the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana as part of the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package. In this, 80 crore ration card holders are provided food grains for free. Now the scheme will end on 30 November.
If you have not taken advantage of this scheme, there are only a few days left. You can take advantage of this. Now the government is not thinking of taking it forward. In this scheme, there is a provision of giving 5 kg of wheat or rice and 1 kg of gram to a family. This free 5 kg grain is in addition to the existing quota of food grains available on the ration card. After this it (Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana) was extended to Diwali and Chhath Puja. That is, this scheme can be availed till 30 November 2020.
According to a source in the Department of Food and Public Distribution under the Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public, there is no thought of extending the scheme after November 30. Please tell that you do not need a ration card to get food grains under PMJKY. Rather, only the base gets ration to the needy. But registration has to be done for this scheme through our Aadhaar card. On registration they are given a slip. One gets free grain by showing it.
