Nearly 1,000 ration outlets in remote locations in the State will soon become multi-service centres that will be known as Kerala Stores (or K-Stores).
The K-Stores will provide ATM services that will enable users to withdraw up to ₹5,000, utility services, bill payment facility, various e-services that are being provided by Akshaya centres, cooking gas, and include Supplyco outlets and Milma booths.
Announcing the endeavour while inaugurating the Civil Supplies Department’s diamond jubilee celebrations here on Saturday, Food and Civil Supplies Minister G.R. Anil said the stores would prove to be beneficial for the residents of rural areas that lacked ATMs, banks, Akshaya centres, Milma outlets, Supplyco stores and gas agencies.
