Assam Minister of Food, Public Distribution and Consumer Affairs, Kaushik Rai, on Wednesday directed the department officials to complete the ongoing ration card verification process in the state by July 31 to ensure that only eligible beneficiaries are included in the 'Anna Seva Abhiyan' scheme.
Addressing a state-level departmental review and interactive meeting in Guwahati, the Minister emphasised the use of Aadhaar-based verification and e-KYC reviews to identify beneficiaries who have not availed of free rice for six months or more.
