Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan flagged off 11 vehicles from Mantralaya premises to districts for 89 tribal-dominated blocks of the State under Ration Aapke Gram Yojana in the first phase on Tuesday. Such a system is being ensured for all tribal-dominated development blocks by December under the scheme. Chouhan said that with implementation of this scheme, tribal brethren will get necessary food grains to their villages and homes without any hassle. Earlier, people have to go till ration shop to get ration. On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched this important scheme on the occasion of Tribal Pride Day celebrations. This is a new scheme for the welfare of tribals, which is also important from the point of view of saving their time, energy and money.
 
He said that the youth who are performing the responsibilities under the scheme, have been selected from the tribal class and not from Government servants. Prime Minister had on Monday handed over the keys of vehicles to Anil Armo of Dindori and Laxmi Narayan of Mandla at the Tribal Pride Day function held at Jamboree Maidan in Bhopal. In the scheme, arrangements have been made to give loan guarantee and margin money to youth of the tribal class for vehicle. Provision of weighing machine and salesmen in the vehicle will surely be in the interest of the consumers. Under this scheme, food distribution will be done on a fixed day in each village. Vehicles will take the ration, so far distributed from 4000 fair price shops in 20 districts, till consumers of tribal section. As many as 450 vehicles will be deployed for this particular work. The number of villages to be benefitted under the scheme is 7,500.
