In Rajasthan, the portal has been restarted to add name to the National Food Security List. In this announcement of the state government, the target is to add 10 lakh new families to the National Food Security List. Along with this, 35 kg wheat per ration card will be provided free of cost every month to the families of Sahariya and Khairwa tribes of Baran district and Kathori tribe of Udaipur district.
Free 35 kg wheat per month to these families
. . 34 thousand 822 families of these tribes will get the benefit of this decision. This benefit will not be available to government and semi-government employees, government service pensioners, income tax payers, service tax paying families, four room landlords and families having four wheelers (other than tractors).
The common man will get cheap wheat
Food and Civil Supplies Department Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas informed that the portal has been started again to add names to the National Food Security List. New applications will be accepted through E-Mitra. To apply on the portal, it is necessary to have Jan Aadhar card and Aadhar number. He said that the people of the state are getting the benefit of getting wheat from anywhere in the country under One Nation One Ration Card. In future also, these beneficiaries should not face any problem in getting ration, so Jan Aadhar card and Aadhar number have been made mandatory in new applications.
Closed two years ago
The Food Minister said that there was a demand from the people of the state to restart the NFSA portal for a long time. Now every needy in the state will be able to take advantage of cheap wheat and no one will remain hungry. He said that the NFSA portal was closed on May 18, 2020, when the central government had set the maximum number of NFSA beneficiaries in the state at 4.46 crore under the National Food Security Scheme. But now the portal has been restarted.
Benefits being given in this way
Khachariya was said that the common people are still getting benefited from this scheme which was started in the year 2013 during the time of UPA Government. He said that to increase the number of eligible beneficiaries, efforts are also being made on behalf of the State Government by writing a letter to the Central Government. Under the one rupee kg wheat flagship scheme of the department, 5 kg wheat per unit to BPL, State BPL families and 35 kg wheat per family is being given to Antyodaya families in the state every month. Wheat is being provided at Rs 2 per kg to all the remaining categories of beneficiaries.
