The Gujarat government has expanded the Shramik Annapurna scheme, increasing the number of beneficiaries and extending coverage to additional districts.
The state government announced that the Shramik Annapurna meal scheme will now cover more workers across Gujarat.
The expansion will increase the monthly meal allowance for eligible laborers and extend the program to several districts that were previously excluded.
Officials said the move aims to improve food security for the working class and support the state’s economic recovery.
The scheme, which provides subsidised meals to daily wage earners, will see a rise in the number of beneficiaries and a broader geographic reach.
Implementation details will be rolled out over the next few months, with local authorities coordinating distribution.
