Right to Food Campaign writes to the Food Minister for further extension of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana & universalisation of PDS

-Press release by the Right to Food Campaign Secretariat dated 8th November, 2021

In a recent letter to Shri. Piyush Goyal, Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, the Right to Food Campaign Secretariat -- a civil society organisation working on food and nutrition security in the country -- has recommended for further extension of the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) till May 2022. 

Against the backdrop of uncertainty over livelihoods in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Right to Food Campaign Secretariat has also asked the food minister for the universalisation of the Public Distribution System (PDS) to ensure that anyone in need of ration is supported irrespective of whether s/he possess a ration card.
