The state’s decision is intended to eradicate malnutrition and anaemia from these districts. Nearly, Rs 28.43 crore will be spent on the fortification of rice and Rs 11.6 crore on its distribution.

RAIPUR: Activists of the Right to Food Campaign (RTFC) and Alliance for Sustainable & Holistic Agriculture (ASHA) have urged the Chhattisgarh government to abandon its rice fortification interventions and instead adopt effective, safe solutions to the problem of malnutrition in the state.

The state has begun distribution of fortified rice to the beneficiaries in ten aspirational and two high-burden districts through the public distribution system from March this year. “The pilot project in Chhattisgarh's Kondagaon district started in November 2020 but has not been completed nor evaluation done or results put out for public scrutiny," stated the report.

The state’s decision is intended to eradicate malnutrition and anaemia from these districts. Nearly, Rs 28.43 crore will be spent on the fortification of rice and Rs 11.6 crore on its distribution.

“Chhattisgarh self-sufficient in paddy production should step out of the Centre’s unscientific and risky policy on iron-fortified rice in public schemes. Health is a state subject. The state shouldn't get coerced into fortified rice distribution in public schemes," said the fact team members.
