Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary has announced a plan to enroll 10 million economically weaker sections into the state’s ration card system.
Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary announced a new initiative aimed at bringing 10 million economically weaker families into the state’s ration card network. The move is part of the government’s broader effort to expand access to subsidised food grains and improve welfare distribution.
The announcement was made during a press briefing where Choudhary highlighted the need to cover a larger segment of the population that currently lacks formal identification for ration benefits. He emphasized that the inclusion would help streamline the distribution process and reduce leakage.
The state government plans to collaborate with local authorities and existing welfare schemes to identify eligible households and issue ration cards within the next six months. Officials will also set up verification centers to ensure accurate data collection and prevent duplication.
