Mizoram loses Rs 9.66 crore on rice per month

The Mizoram Government has incurred a loss of Rs 9.66 crore per month for procurement of additional rice at economic price per month.

The government has been compelled to procure additional 80,000 quintals of rice per month as the State’s quota, which is based on the 2001 Census, is far from meeting the actual requirement of the present population, including floating population amounting to two lakh, an official statement said today.

Based on the 2001 Census and the national norms of 36 kg per family per month, Mizoram receives 28,410 quintals of rice for Above the Proverty line (APL), 14,700 quintals for BPL and 9100 quintals for AAY monthly.

However, till March 2010 the State had received an additional allotment of 39,050 quintals of rice for APL due to the Mautam-related rice shortage. This additional allotment was discontinued from April 2010 following which the APL quota was reduced to 28410 quintals.

Owing to earnest request by the Mizoram Government, the Centre has granted additional allocation of 54,340 quintals per month for three months from July to September, in addition to earlier special allocation of 21,380 quintals, the statement said. This would considerably reduce the procurement of rice at economic cost, it added. (UNI)
