&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The National Advisory Council (NAC), headed by Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday recommended to the government to grant differential legal entitlement of foodgrains to nearly 800 million people through a reformed PDS network from the next financial year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC also decided to set aside the BPL criteria and suggested two broad categories &amp;mdash; priority and general &amp;mdash; eligible for legal foodgrain entitlement under the proposed food security law.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As per the recommendations, those under the &amp;lsquo;priority&amp;rsquo; category will have a monthly entitlement of Rs. 35 kg foodgrains at a subsidised price of Rs. one per kg for millets, Rs. two per kg for wheat and Rs. three per kg for rice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;general&amp;rsquo; category households will have a legal monthly entitlement of 20 kg of foodgrains at a price not exceeding 50 per cent of the Minimum Support Price.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The recommendations were finalised at the sixth meeting of the Council chaired by Ms. Gandhi here on Saturday.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We are obviating the need to look at the BPL data. Starting from the top, we have decided to knock off 15 per cent of the most affluent section from the rural areas and 60 per cent from the urban areas and including the rest under the food security net,&amp;rdquo; Narendra Jadhav, Member of the NAC told a press conference here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He said that the NAC has recommended implementation of the first phase of food security law from the beginning of next financial year and plan for coverage of the entire country by 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Jadhav said the first phase of the food security law may cost the exchequer an additional Rs. 15,137 crore in food subsidies. After the implementation of the final phase, the additional cost would be Rs. 23,231 crore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC recommendations are likely to be considered by the Union Cabinet and then moved in the form of a National Food Security Bill in Parliament.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Other important components of the food security bill recommended by the NAC include legal entitlements for child and maternal nutrition, as well as for community kitchens and programmes for feeding the destitute and vulnerable groups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also recommended measures for revitalising agriculture, diversifying the commodities available under PDS, ensuring universal access to safe water and proper sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;It has also suggested universalising primary healthcare, extending nutrition and health support to adolescent girls, strengthening the school health programme, the programme for Vitamin A, iodine and iron supplementation and the national programme for cr&amp;egrave;ches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also suggested a complete overhaul of the PDS and is examining proposals for reforms in the network. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The National Advisory Council (NAC), headed by Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday recommended to the government to grant differential legal entitlement of foodgrains to nearly 800 million people through a reformed PDS network from the next financial year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC also decided to set aside the BPL criteria and suggested two broad categories &amp;mdash; priority and general &amp;mdash; eligible for legal foodgrain entitlement under the proposed food security law.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As per the recommendations, those under the &amp;lsquo;priority&amp;rsquo; category will have a monthly entitlement of Rs. 35 kg foodgrains at a subsidised price of Rs. one per kg for millets, Rs. two per kg for wheat and Rs. three per kg for rice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;general&amp;rsquo; category households will have a legal monthly entitlement of 20 kg of foodgrains at a price not exceeding 50 per cent of the Minimum Support Price.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The recommendations were finalised at the sixth meeting of the Council chaired by Ms. Gandhi here on Saturday.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We are obviating the need to look at the BPL data. Starting from the top, we have decided to knock off 15 per cent of the most affluent section from the rural areas and 60 per cent from the urban areas and including the rest under the food security net,&amp;rdquo; Narendra Jadhav, Member of the NAC told a press conference here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He said that the NAC has recommended implementation of the first phase of food security law from the beginning of next financial year and plan for coverage of the entire country by 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Jadhav said the first phase of the food security law may cost the exchequer an additional Rs. 15,137 crore in food subsidies. After the implementation of the final phase, the additional cost would be Rs. 23,231 crore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC recommendations are likely to be considered by the Union Cabinet and then moved in the form of a National Food Security Bill in Parliament.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Other important components of the food security bill recommended by the NAC include legal entitlements for child and maternal nutrition, as well as for community kitchens and programmes for feeding the destitute and vulnerable groups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also recommended measures for revitalising agriculture, diversifying the commodities available under PDS, ensuring universal access to safe water and proper sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;It has also suggested universalising primary healthcare, extending nutrition and health support to adolescent girls, strengthening the school health programme, the programme for Vitamin A, iodine and iron supplementation and the national programme for cr&amp;egrave;ches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also suggested a complete overhaul of the PDS and is examining proposals for reforms in the network. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The National Advisory Council (NAC), headed by Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday recommended to the government to grant differential legal entitlement of foodgrains to nearly 800 million people through a reformed PDS network from the next financial year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC also decided to set aside the BPL criteria and suggested two broad categories &amp;mdash; priority and general &amp;mdash; eligible for legal foodgrain entitlement under the proposed food security law.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As per the recommendations, those under the &amp;lsquo;priority&amp;rsquo; category will have a monthly entitlement of Rs. 35 kg foodgrains at a subsidised price of Rs. one per kg for millets, Rs. two per kg for wheat and Rs. three per kg for rice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;general&amp;rsquo; category households will have a legal monthly entitlement of 20 kg of foodgrains at a price not exceeding 50 per cent of the Minimum Support Price.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The recommendations were finalised at the sixth meeting of the Council chaired by Ms. Gandhi here on Saturday.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We are obviating the need to look at the BPL data. Starting from the top, we have decided to knock off 15 per cent of the most affluent section from the rural areas and 60 per cent from the urban areas and including the rest under the food security net,&amp;rdquo; Narendra Jadhav, Member of the NAC told a press conference here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He said that the NAC has recommended implementation of the first phase of food security law from the beginning of next financial year and plan for coverage of the entire country by 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Jadhav said the first phase of the food security law may cost the exchequer an additional Rs. 15,137 crore in food subsidies. After the implementation of the final phase, the additional cost would be Rs. 23,231 crore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC recommendations are likely to be considered by the Union Cabinet and then moved in the form of a National Food Security Bill in Parliament.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Other important components of the food security bill recommended by the NAC include legal entitlements for child and maternal nutrition, as well as for community kitchens and programmes for feeding the destitute and vulnerable groups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also recommended measures for revitalising agriculture, diversifying the commodities available under PDS, ensuring universal access to safe water and proper sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;It has also suggested universalising primary healthcare, extending nutrition and health support to adolescent girls, strengthening the school health programme, the programme for Vitamin A, iodine and iron supplementation and the national programme for cr&amp;egrave;ches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also suggested a complete overhaul of the PDS and is examining proposals for reforms in the network. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The National Advisory Council (NAC), headed by Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday recommended to the government to grant differential legal entitlement of foodgrains to nearly 800 million people through a reformed PDS network from the next financial year.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC also decided to set aside the BPL criteria and suggested two broad categories &amp;mdash; priority and general &amp;mdash; eligible for legal foodgrain entitlement under the proposed food security law.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;As per the recommendations, those under the &amp;lsquo;priority&amp;rsquo; category will have a monthly entitlement of Rs. 35 kg foodgrains at a subsidised price of Rs. one per kg for millets, Rs. two per kg for wheat and Rs. three per kg for rice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;general&amp;rsquo; category households will have a legal monthly entitlement of 20 kg of foodgrains at a price not exceeding 50 per cent of the Minimum Support Price.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The recommendations were finalised at the sixth meeting of the Council chaired by Ms. Gandhi here on Saturday.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;We are obviating the need to look at the BPL data. Starting from the top, we have decided to knock off 15 per cent of the most affluent section from the rural areas and 60 per cent from the urban areas and including the rest under the food security net,&amp;rdquo; Narendra Jadhav, Member of the NAC told a press conference here.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;He said that the NAC has recommended implementation of the first phase of food security law from the beginning of next financial year and plan for coverage of the entire country by 2014.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Jadhav said the first phase of the food security law may cost the exchequer an additional Rs. 15,137 crore in food subsidies. After the implementation of the final phase, the additional cost would be Rs. 23,231 crore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC recommendations are likely to be considered by the Union Cabinet and then moved in the form of a National Food Security Bill in Parliament.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Other important components of the food security bill recommended by the NAC include legal entitlements for child and maternal nutrition, as well as for community kitchens and programmes for feeding the destitute and vulnerable groups.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also recommended measures for revitalising agriculture, diversifying the commodities available under PDS, ensuring universal access to safe water and proper sanitation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;It has also suggested universalising primary healthcare, extending nutrition and health support to adolescent girls, strengthening the school health programme, the programme for Vitamin A, iodine and iron supplementation and the national programme for cr&amp;egrave;ches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;font face=&quot;arial,helvetica,sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;The NAC has also suggested a complete overhaul of the PDS and is examining proposals for reforms in the network. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

NAC recommends food security net for 75 p.c. of population

The National Advisory Council (NAC), headed by Sonia Gandhi, on Saturday recommended to the government to grant differential legal entitlement of foodgrains to nearly 800 million people through a reformed PDS network from the next financial year. The NAC also decided to set aside the BPL criteria and suggested two broad categories — priority and general — eligible for legal foodgrain entitlement under the proposed food security law. As per the recommendations, those under the ‘priority’ category will have a monthly entitlement of Rs. 35 kg foodgrains at a subsidised price of Rs. one per kg for millets, Rs. two per kg for wheat and Rs. three per kg for rice. The ‘general’ category households will have a legal monthly entitlement of 20 kg of foodgrains at a price not exceeding 50 per cent of the Minimum Support Price. The recommendations were finalised at the sixth meeting of the Council chaired by Ms. Gandhi here on Saturday. “We are obviating the need to look at the BPL data. Starting from the top, we have decided to knock off 15 per cent of the most affluent section from the rural areas and 60 per cent from the urban areas and including the rest under the food security net,” Narendra Jadhav, Member of the NAC told a press conference here. He said that the NAC has recommended implementation of the first phase of food security law from the beginning of next financial year and plan for coverage of the entire country by 2014. Jadhav said the first phase of the food security law may cost the exchequer an additional Rs. 15,137 crore in food subsidies. After the implementation of the final phase, the additional cost would be Rs. 23,231 crore. The NAC recommendations are likely to be considered by the Union Cabinet and then moved in the form of a National Food Security Bill in Parliament. Other important components of the food security bill recommended by the NAC include legal entitlements for child and maternal nutrition, as well as for community kitchens and programmes for feeding the destitute and vulnerable groups. The NAC has also recommended measures for revitalising agriculture, diversifying the commodities available under PDS, ensuring universal access to safe water and proper sanitation. It has also suggested universalising primary healthcare, extending nutrition and health support to adolescent girls, strengthening the school health programme, the programme for Vitamin A, iodine and iron supplementation and the national programme for crèches. The NAC has also suggested a complete overhaul of the PDS and is examining proposals for reforms in the network.
