Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil has emphasised the government’s efforts to cleanse the public distribution system (PDS) to improve service delivery and ensure greater benefits for economically-weaker sections.
Inaugurating the State-level distribution of Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) cards to 15,000 economically backward families at a function here on Tuesday, Mr. Anil said the government has distributed 3,56,244 priority ration cards since it came into power. These included several priority ration cards that were recovered from ineligible persons.
