There will be no problem of ration, Uttarakhand will become the third state to start food grain ATM scheme
People eligible for free ration from the government ration shop will no longer have to make rounds of the shops. Food and Civil Supplies Minister Rekha Arya has to say this. He said that Uttarakhand Food Department is going to start a new scheme soon.
Minister Rekha Arya said that the way common people withdraw money from ATM machines for their needs, in the same way eligible people can take food grains. The Food Minister said that food grain ATMs are going to be started in the state under the World Food Scheme. Approval has been received in this regard under the World Food Plan.
Presently the scheme of Food Grain ATM is running only in the states of Orissa and Haryana, but now Uttarakhand will be the third such state in the country. The Food Minister said that this system will work like an ATM machine. Also, it will have a screen like an ATM machine. Ration card holders will be able to come here and withdraw wheat, rice and pulses like an ATM machine. This scheme is being started as a pilot project.
