State Government of Karnataka has launched most awaited scheme named Anna Bhagya Scheme in association with Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department. Under Anna Bhagya Scheme, Karnataka government will distribute food grains to the below poverty line (BPL) families for free in the state. The government has the aim to provide rice free of cost for people who belong to below poverty line.
The Anna bhagya scheme was improved in the recent state budget by the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and now, a single-member family will get 7 kg of rice while a 10 member family will get 70 kg a month. The objective of the scheme is to provide subsidized rice to the targeted beneficiaries like families living below poverty line. The price of the food is increasing day by day and under such circumstances, the condition of the poor families has become even worse since they do not have enough money to purchase food grains at market rates. This is a very noble initiative taken by Karnataka Government for helping poor and deprived families to provide them food grains
