Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan’s policy address in the Assembly on Thursday emphasised the efforts being made to ensure universal coverage of the public distribution system (PDS) in the State.
The Food and Civil Supplies department, the address states, has achieved significant milestones, including the initiation of the K-Store project to revamp fair price shops, thereby providing diversified services in rural areas. While 245 K-Stores have been established, steps are under way to build a robust chain of 2.000 such facilities by the next year (2025).
