Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will start a new rice distribution program in Huzurnagar on March 30, which falls on the Ugadi festival. This announcement was made by Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy during a meeting in Nereducharla on Saturday.
Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy said the program is an important step for the Congress government and a great welfare scheme for the people. He explained that his main goal is to improve the public distribution system so that more people benefit from it.
The minister said the scheme will begin in Huzurnagar and will be treated as a prestigious project for the state. Under this program, people will receive fine quality rice for free through ration shops. So far, 2.81 lakh people are receiving benefits, but that number will increase to 3.10 lakh.
He also mentioned that new names are being added to old ration cards, and each person will now receive six kilograms of fine rice instead of the regular coarse rice. The government is spending a total of Rs 10,665 crore for this project.
The minister shared this information while speaking at a meeting with Congress party workers from Nereducharla, Palakeedu, and Garidepally mandals. He asked the party members to help make the upcoming public meeting a big success, as it is part of the rice distribution program.
