Food and Civil Supplies Minister Bisahulal Singh said that food grain slips will be prepared for free food grain distribution to 36.86 lakh labourers of the State from the month of August. These beneficiaries are eligible to get free ration, but they were not able to avail this facility due to non-possession of food slips. Singh was holding a discussion on the preparations in a review meeting with the officials at Mantralaya on Saturday.
Singh added that a verification campaign has been launched for all the ration beneficiaries in the State. Food grain will be distributed by issuing food slips to the beneficiaries, who are found eligible in verification and names of those found ineligible will be removed. He told said that the Aadhar numbers of 1.37 crore beneficiaries out of the beneficiaries included currently have been seeded in the database.
Aadhaar seeding has been done in the data base of about 25 lakh beneficiaries in the past. Aadhaar seeding work will be completed in the data base for the remaining beneficiaries in the months of July and August. Ration will be given to beneficiaries after providing Aadhaar number after August 31.
