New Delhi: On March 26, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the government had decided that all ration card holders in India will be provided one kilogram of pulses every month starting April, for a period of three months. This was a part of the PM Garib Kalyan package – the Centre’s only relief measure so far to deal with the consequences of the lockdown for the poor.

Almost a month later, on April 20, the government issued a press release which once again announced that “it has decided to distribute pulses to the eligible households under Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PM-GKY).”

The release also said that the government has so far issued 1,07,077 metric tonnes of pulses to states. “Issued only means issued on paper. It doesn’t mean that they have been shipped to states,” said a former official of the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED), the government agency which procures pulses and is now in charge of ensuring that these reach states which will eventually distribute them to ration card holders through the public distribution system (PDS).
