Benefits of APL card :
APL card holders will also get cheaper rice :
Soon after taking over,Siddaramaiah had announced that 98.15 lakh below poverty line (BPL) families will get 30 kg of rice at Re 1 from June 1,in line with the partys manifesto.Now,this benefit will also extend to APL families.
Asked about the governments steps to rein in rice rates in the open market,the CM promised to control the price to ensure it doesnt become unaffordable to middle-class families.
Karnataka has 1.34 crore ration cards,and BPL cards account for 98.15 lakh (87.01 lakh BPL and 11.14 lakh Anthodaya Anna Yojana).The AAY covers the poor who cant afford two meals a day and includes the terminally ill,HIV affected,households headed by widows and landless labourers among the beneficiaries.
The Food Corporation of India provides 1.48 metric tonnes of rice every month to Karnataka.Of this,32,913 tonnes is distributed under AAY;57,616 tonnes for the BPL category and 57,663 tonnes for APL.With the increased quantity for BPL families,the state requires 3.31 lakh tonne every month.
Food and civil supplies minister Dinesh Gundurao said: A clear picture will emerge in a day or two.
