Cabinet approves extension of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PM-GKAY) for another 6 months (April-September, 2022)

Move to benefit poor and vulnerable

Nearly Rs 3.4 lakh crore of financial outlay & more than 1,000 LMT of free foodgrains provided under PMGKAY

Posted On: 26 MAR 2022 7:29PM by PIB Delhi

In keeping with the concern and sensitivity towards poor and vulnerable sections of society, the Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has extended the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PM-GKAY) scheme for another six months i.e., till September 2022 (Phase VI).

The Phase-V of PM-GKAY scheme was to end in March 2022. It may be recalled that the PM-GKAY has been under implementation since April 2020, as the largest food security program in the world.

The Government has spent approximately Rs. 2.60 Lakh Crore so far and another Rs. 80,000 Crore will be spent over the next 6 months till September 2022 taking the total expenditure under PM-GKAY to nearly Rs. 3.40 Lakh Crore.

This will cover nearly 80 crore beneficiaries across India and like before would be fully funded by the Government of India.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly abated and economic activities are gathering momentum, this PM-GKAY extension would ensure that no poor household goes to bed without food during this time of recovery.

Under the extended PM-GKAY each beneficiary will get additional 5 kg free ration per person per month in addition to his normal quota of foodgrains under the NFSA. This means that every poor household would get nearly double the normal quantity of ration.

It is worth highlighting that the Government had allocated about 759 LMT of free foodgrains under the PM-GKAY till Phase V. With another 244 LMT of free foodgrains under this extension (Phase VI), the aggregate allocation of free foodgrains under the PM-GKAY now stand at 1,003 LMT of foodgrains.

The benefit of free ration can be availed through portability by any migrant labour or beneficiary under One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) plan from nearly 5 lakh ration shops across the country. So far, over 61 Crore portability transactions have benefitted the beneficiaries away from their homes.

This has been made possible due to highest ever procurement despite the century’s worst pandemic with highest ever payment to farmers by the Government. For this record production in the agricultural fields Indian Farmers –‘Annadata’ deserves to be complimented.

Around 28 Lakh MT foodgrains have been distributed by 34 States/UTs to around 55 Crore NFSA beneficiaries for May 2021 and around 1.3 Lakh MT foodgrains have been distributed to around 2.6 Crore NFSA beneficiaries for June 2021, after following due COVID protocols.

Furthermore, he added that as on 03.06.2021, under National Food Security act, foodgrains have been distributed to around 90% &12 %of NFSA beneficiaries for May and June 2021, respectively, incurring a food subsidy of more than Rs. 13,000 Crore for May and June 2021. The food subsidy incurred for PMGKAY, so far, is more than Rs. 9,200 Crore for May and June 2021.

Shri Pandey said that the Department is continuously reviewing the scheme and pursuing with States/UTswho are taking steps to give wide publicity about PM-GKAY III through publicity in print/ electronic media & display of banners at Fair Price Shop etc.

Emphasising the importance of ‘One Nation One Ration Card’ (ONORC), Secretary, DFPD shared that it is an ambitious plan and endeavour of the Department to introduce the nation-wide portability of ration cards under the National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA).

He said that at present, a monthly average of about 1.35 Crore portability transactions are being recorded under ONORC plan (including intra-state transactions). Further, a total of nearly 27.8 Crore portability transactions have taken place all across States/UTs since the inception of ONORC plan from August 2019, out of which almost 19.8 Crore portability transactions have been recorded during the COVID-19 period i.e., from April 2020 to May 2021.

Given the potential of One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) plan to ensure the access to NFSA foodgrains to Migrant NFSA beneficiaries during the COVID-19 crisis, this department has been continuously pursuing with States/UTs through VC meetings/advisories/letters etc to implement the programme to its full potential by proactively reaching out to the migrant beneficiaries.

These States/UTs have been requested to undertake wide-spread publicity and awareness of the ONORC plan, 14445 toll-free number and ‘Mera Ration’ Mobile application that was recently developed by Department in association with NIC for the benefit of NFSA beneficiaries, specifically the migrant NFSA beneficiaries, in ten different languages viz. English, Hindi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati& Marathi. Efforts are afoot to include more regional languages in the ‘Mera Ration’ App, going forward.

While answering to one question about reduction in edible oils duty, Shri Pandey said that the edible oil prices have already started coming down in international market and there is a 15 to 20 % shrink in demand. He said prices are continue to decline further and this trend is showing in international market too. Since, the softening of oil prices is happening and as trend shows it will continue, so there is no need to reduce the duty, he further added that the Government is reviewing the situation every week.

In reply to another question, Secretary DFPD said that in view of the COVID scenario, coverage of all eligible persons from most vulnerable & economically weaker sections of population (i.e. street dwellers, rag pickers, hawkers, rickshaw pullers, migrant labours etc.) under National Food Security Act is the foremost priority of this Department. As the operational responsibilities of identification of eligible persons/households under NFSA and issuance of ration cards to them through continuous review, rests with States/UTs. He said that the Department has issued instruction to all States/UTs on 02nd June, 2021 to launch a special drive to proactively issue NFSA ration cards to such persons without ration cards from above such categories by utilizing the available coverage under their overall NFSA limits. Out of total NFSA coverage limit of 81.35 Crore, a gap of nearly 1.97 crore can be also utilised by States/UTs for this purpose.

Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana 2021 प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण अन्ना योजना 2021 के तहत मई और जून मे 5 किलोग्राम मुफ्त खाद्यान्न उपलब्ध कराएगी।

Posted on April 24, 2021 by Annu Priya

Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana 2021 प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण अन्ना योजना 2021 के तहत मई और जून मे 5 किलोग्राम मुफ्त खाद्यान्न उपलब्ध कराएगी।

मई और जून के महीनों के लिए पीएम गरीब कल्याण एन योजना 2021 का दायरा बढ़ाया है। अब गरीब परिवारों को पोषण आहार के रूप में मुफ्त भोजन मिलेगा जब देश को कोरोवायरस महामारी की दूसरी लहर का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। इस निर्णय पर अतिरिक्त रु। केंद्र सरकार के खजाने को 26,000 करोड़ रु। 1.76 लाख करोड़ (60,000 करोड़ + 90,000 करोड़ + 26000 करोड़)। इसके अलावा, सरकार। प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण योजना 2021 के लिए दिशा-निर्देशों को भी संशोधित किया है। नए फॉर्म में, इस योजना के तहत खाद्य पदार्थों का लाभ उठाने के लिए राशन कार्ड या आईडी की आवश्यकता नहीं है।

सरकार ने 24 अप्रैल 2021 को घोषणा की है कि मई के महीनों के लिए देश में कोविद -19 के प्रकोप के कारण हुए आर्थिक व्यवधानों के कारण सरकार राष्ट्रीय खाद्य सुरक्षा अधिनियम, 2013 के तहत लाखों गरीबों को 5 किलोग्राम मुफ्त खाद्यान्न उपलब्ध कराएगी। और प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण अन्ना योजना के तहत जून। यह अगले दो महीने यानी मई और जून 2021 के लिए “ऊपर और ऊपर एनएफएसए खाद्यान्न” होगा, जो पहले की “प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण अन्ना योजना (पीएम-जीकेवाई)” के समान है।

इस विशेष योजना (पीएमजीकेवाई) के तहत, एनएफएसए, अंत्योदय अन्न योजना (एएवाई) और प्राथमिकता गृहस्थी (पीएचएच), दोनों श्रेणियों के तहत कवर किए गए लगभग 80 करोड़ एनएफएसए लाभार्थियों को मुफ्त में खाद्यान्न का अतिरिक्त कोटा प्रदान किया जाएगा ( चावल / गेहूं) प्रति माह 5 किलोग्राम प्रति व्यक्ति के मान से, एनएफएसए के तहत उनकी नियमित मासिक पात्रता के ऊपर और ऊपर। भारत सरकार रुपये से अधिक का सारा खर्च वहन करेगी। राज्यों / संघ राज्य क्षेत्रों को खाद्य सब्सिडी और केंद्रीय सहायता के लिए 26,000 करोड़ रु। अंतर्राज्यीय परिवहन आदि।

कौन पीएम-जीकेवाई में मुफ्त खाद्य अनाज का लाभ उठा सकता है

किसानों
महिला जन धन खाता धारकों
मनरेगा मजदूर
महिला एस.एच.जी.
वृद्धावस्था / विधवा / विकलांग पेंशनर
निजी कर्मचारी
प्रवासी कामगार
एनएफएसए दोनों श्रेणियों के लाभार्थी – अंत्योदय अन्न योजना (AAY) और प्राथमिकता गृहस्थी (PHH)

प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण एन योजना 2021 बिना राशन कार्ड / आईडी प्रमाण के

यह नई मुफ्त भोजन वितरण योजना किसी भी आरसी या आईडी की आवश्यकता के बिना अपने कवरेज को बढ़ाने के लिए काम करेगी। जैसा कि प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण योजना पैकेज में घोषणा की गई है। 80 करोड़ लोगों को मुफ्त में भोजन उपलब्ध कराएगा। प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को प्रति माह 5 किलोग्राम चावल / गेहूं मिलेगा। कोरोनोवायरस (COVID-19) महामारी के प्रकोप के लिए सभी योजनाओं के लिए मुफ्त भोजन आवश्यक है। मुफ्त भोजन वितरण योजना प्रवासी मजदूरों, दैनिक ग्रामीणों और शहरी गरीबों को पर्याप्त खाद्य आपूर्ति सुनिश्चित करेगी जिनके पास राशन की आवश्यकता नहीं है।

सशक्त समूहों और सरकार के वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों की सिफारिशों के अनुसार, राशन कार्ड और अन्य आईडी आवश्यकताओं को हटा दिया गया है। यह प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण योजना 2021 के तहत भोजन तक पहुंच बढ़ाएगा जो कि मोदी सरकार की एक प्रमुख योजना है। सरकार। मई और जून के महीने के लिए COVID-19 संकट के दौरान हर किसी को मुफ्त भोजन उपलब्ध कराने की घोषणा की है।

मुफ्त भोजन वितरण के दौरान राशन कार्ड और आईडी प्रूफ की आवश्यकता को हटाना एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है। यह आवश्यक है क्योंकि असंगठित क्षेत्र के कई श्रमिक अभी भी सार्वजनिक वितरण प्रणाली (पीडीएस) नेटवर्क के भीतर नहीं हैं। इसके अलावा, अन्य राज्यों में दैनिक वेतन भोगी श्रमिकों ने अपने परिवारों के उपयोग के लिए अपने घर पर अपना राशन कार्ड वापस छोड़ दिया हो सकता है। वे जीवित रहने के लिए दैनिक कमाई पर भरोसा करते हैं और अब काफी असहाय हैं। इस कदम के साथ, सरकार। चाहता है कि खाद्य पदार्थ सभी जरूरतमंद गरीब लोगों तक पहुंचे।

पीएम गरीब कल्याण अन्ना योजना पूर्व पीएमजीकेवाई पैकेज में घोषणा

पीएम गरीब कल्याण अन्ना योजना में आईडी की आवश्यकता को पूरा करने का कदम यह सुनिश्चित करेगा कि कोई भी बिना भोजन के न जाए। केंद्रीय सरकार। भारतीय खाद्य निगम के गोदामों में पर्याप्त खाद्य भंडार हैं, इसलिए यह निर्णय आसानी से लिया गया है। PMGKY पैकेज में घोषणा के अनुसार, इस नई PM-GKAY योजना की विशेषताएं निम्नलिखित हैं: –

लगभग 80 करोड़ लोग लाभान्वित होंगे।

दैनिक गरीबों, प्रवासी मजदूरों, शहरी गरीबों सहित सभी गरीब लोगों को मुफ्त राशन प्रदान किया जाएगा।

मई 2021 और जून 2021 के अगले 2 महीनों के लिए, प्रत्येक परिवार को हर महीने 5 किलो गेहूं / चावल (राशन) बिल्कुल मुफ्त मिलेगा।

खरीद निकटतम सार्वजनिक वितरण केंद्रों या उचित मूल्य की दुकानों के माध्यम से की जानी है।

यह योजना 30 जून तक वैध रहेगी और अतिरिक्त रु। केंद्र सरकार को 26,000 करोड़।

पीएम गरीब कल्याण योजना के लिए कुल लागत लगभग 1.76 लाख करोड़ तक पहुंच जाएगी। लगा कि केंद्रीय सरकार कम से कम अस्थायी रूप से राज्यों को कागजी आवश्यकताओं से दूर करने के लिए धक्का दे सकता है। हालांकि, इस मुफ्त भोजन तक पहुंच के लिए उचित मूल्य की दुकानों या सार्वजनिक वितरण केंद्र की दुकानों पर संबंधित राशन कार्ड दिखाना पड़ता है।

केंद्र सरकार की योजनाएं 2021 केंद्र सरकार की योजना हिंदीकेन्द्रीय में लोकप्रिय योजनाएँ:प्रधानमंत्री आवास योजना 2021PM आवास योजना (PMAY-G) प्रधानमंत्री आवास योजना

COVID-19 प्रसार को कम करने में प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण ऐन योजना

पीएम गरीब कल्याण ऐन योजना को अगले दो महीनों के लिए फिर से शुरू किया गया है क्योंकि देश की स्वास्थ्य सेवा संरचना अपनी क्षमता तक पहुंच गई है और कई राज्यों ने बीमारी के प्रसार को रोकने के लिए पूर्ण लॉकडाउन, रात के कर्फ्यू जैसे कदम उठाए हैं। पीएम-जीकेएवाई योजना देश की आर्थिक गतिविधियों को प्रभावित करने वाले ऐसे उपायों के रूप में आती है और महामारी देश के गरीबों पर भारी पड़ती है।

कुछ राज्यों ने राशन कार्ड धारकों के खातों में सीधे धन हस्तांतरण की घोषणा की है। अंतर्राष्ट्रीय खाद्य नीति अनुसंधान संस्थान द्वारा हाल ही में किए गए एक अध्ययन पर कि भारत का खाद्य सुरक्षा नेट कोविद -19 को कैसे जवाब दे रहा है, इस मुद्दे की ओर भी इशारा करता है। अध्ययन में कहा गया है कि शहरी क्षेत्रों में पीडीएस कवरेज कम है जो कम से कम अब “पात्र परिवारों की सूची का विस्तार” करने की आवश्यकता का सुझाव देता है।

Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana : Food Corporation of India

Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana Phase-I

Food Corporation of India moved total 139 LMT food grains during March 2020 to June 2020 5.4 lakh fair price shops distributed food grains to beneficiaries with precautionary measures like staggered distribution timings, maintaining hygiene and maintaining social distancing

During the period 24th March to 30th June 2020, Food Corporation of India under Department of Food & Public Distribution moved a total of about 139 LMT food grains using nearly 5,000 rakes and nearly 14.7 LMT through 91,874 trucks across the country. For ensuring supply of allocated quantity for Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep Islands the food grains were moved though ships. Support of other Ministries such as Railways and Shipping augmented by Indian Air Force have played a crucial role in making these operations smooth and successful. The employees of the FCI, CWC, CRWC, State Warehouses and State/UT Civil Supplies Departments/Corporation have all worked in perfect coordination to make it all possible.

For the distribution of food grains to beneficiaries, a network of about 5.4 Lakh Fair Price Shops (FPSs) was utilised across the country, where all precautionary measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 protocol, such as social distancing, use of face masks, hand sanitizers, availability of soap and water to maintain hand hygiene, staggered distribution timings, frequent sanitization of ePoS devices, etc were followed in each State/UT, besides use of innovative practices for giving foodgrains to beneficiaries while ensuring social distancing at all times.

Despite challenges in biometric authentication of beneficiaries on ePoS devices, many States/UTs like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, etc. ensured biometric authentication of beneficiaries after following requisite safety protocol to ensure rightful targeting of beneficiaries.

Independent surveys conducted by MicroSave Consulting, Dalberg, etc., in various parts of the country, have shown very high level of satisfaction among the beneficiaries, with regards to the distribution of food grains under PM-GKAY. The programme implementation was rigorously monitored at every level including the Hon’ble Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, and all implementation issues of States/UTs were quickly resolved to ensure the success of the PM-GKAY.

Earlier, in March 2020, pursuant to the announcement of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package (PMGKP) to ameliorate the hardships faced by the poor and needy due to economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak in the country, the Department had started the implementation of “Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PM-GKAY)” for a period of three months i.e. April, May and June 2020, so that the poor and vulnerable beneficiaries under NFSA do not suffer on account of the non-availability of food grains during the unprecedented time of crisis.

Under this special scheme, about 81 Crore NFSA beneficiaries covered under both categories of NFSA, namely Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) and Priority Householders (PHH), are being provided with an additional quota of free-of-cost foodgrains (Rice/Wheat) at a scale of 5 Kg per person per month, over and above their regular monthly entitlements.

Accordingly, on 30th March 2020, the Department had conveyed State/UT-wise total allocation of about 121 Lakh MT of foodgrains (about 40 LMT per month) to all States/UTs and FCI for distribution to all NFSA beneficiaries during the period of three months April-June’ 2020 (i.e. Phase-I of the scheme).

As per reports available from FCI, all States/UTs combined have lifted about 118 LMT (99%) of three-month foodgrains from FCI depots/central pool. Further, all States/UTs combined have reported a distribution of over 111.52 LMT (93.5%) of allocated foodgrains for the period April-June 2020 as per following details:

37.5 LMT (94%) each in the months of April and May 2020 covering about 75 crore beneficiaries in each month.

36.54 LMT (92%) in the month of June covering about 73 crore beneficiaries.
