Chhattisgarh extends fortified rice distribution in all districts

Saturday, 31 December 2022 | Staff Reporter | RAIPUR

The Chhattisgarh cabinet on Friday decided to extend the distribution of fortified rice in all the                   districts.

The aim is to eradicate malnutrition and anaemia among women and children. 

As per a cabinet decision, fortified rice will be distributed to ration card holders from April 2023 through fair price shops.

The priority ration card holders will get fortified rice in place of normal rice                   provided now.

The distribution of                fortified rice started in Kondagaon district in November 2020 to ensure food as well as nutritional security under PDS.

The fortified rice is also distributed in all the districts under the Mid-Day Meal and the Supplemental Nutrition Scheme.

It is also being                    distributed in 10 aspirational districts (Korba, Rajnandgaon, Mahasamund, Kanker, Narayanpur, Dantewada, Bijapur, Bastar, Kondagaon and Sukma) and two high burden districts (Kabirdham and Raigarh) under the public distribution system.
