As a result of this decision of the state government, more than 300 million middle class people of large number of APL ration card holders in rural and inland areas will now benefit from the corona epidemic. The decision was taken at a video conferencing cabinet meeting of the state cabinet chaired by CM Rupani and Deputy CM Nitin Patel.

All 5 lakh APL-1 cardholders of middle class households of APL-1 who did not get food grains under NFSA under the National Food Security Act are allowed in middle class to give families 5 kg wheat, 2 kg rice, 2 kg pulses and 5 kg sugar to the government.
Cheap cereals will be provided free of charge from shops. This will result in great relief to the middle class families as a result of this decision and will easily get grain in the current lockdown situation.
The Chief Minister added that the distribution of food grains has been done free of cost to the 4 lakh families of Antyodaya and PHHs in the state in April, followed by more than 1.5 lakh cardholders who received only sugar and salt under NFSA without giving wheat, rice and pulses free of cost.

Not only that, the poorest in the state, the poor, the laborers and the workers of other province-states who do not have ration cards are also being distributed free of cost under the Annabhram scheme.
