As per this system, the Andhra government would pay the cash amount to the people in place of their ration quota of rice supplied through fair price shops under the public distribution system.

Hyderabad: The YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government in Andhra Pradesh has come out with a direct cash transfer scheme for the consumers who do not want to take rice under the public distribution system from fair price shops.

According to state civil supplies and consumer affairs minister Karumuri Venkata Nageswara Rao the scheme would be implemented on a pilot basis in select parts of the state from May. “A survey would be conducted on the implementation of the scheme, and based on the feedback, steps would be taken to extend the scheme across the State,” he said.

In the first phase, the scheme will be implemented in parts of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalle, Narasapuram, Kakinada and Nandyal districts. As per this system, the government would pay the cash amount to the people in place of their ration quota of rice supplied through fair price shops under the public distribution system.

The beneficiaries would have to sign a consent letter to this effect. In the areas identified for the pilot project, the village volunteers have already started taking the consent from the beneficiaries, and it will close this weekend.
