NAC seeks inclusion of SCs/STs in ambit of food security law

National Advisory Council has asked the government to provide highest priority to the inclusion of SC/ST families among beneficiaries of the proposed food security legislation.

The Sonia Gandhi-led council decided on Friday to write to the rural development ministry, urging it to include the socially vulnerable section in the 'priority group' in the BPL survey to be conducted by the ministry.

The council's draft legislation has recommended providing 35kg foodgrain — rice, wheat, millets — at Rs 3, Rs 2 and Re 1 per kg to the group.
