The extreme fiscal crisis faced by the State government has forced it to provide Onam kits containing essential supplies from Supplyco only for those holding yellow ration card holders.
The State Cabinet on Wednesday announced the government’s decision to supply free Onam kits to all Antyodaya Anna Yojana or yellow ration card holders and inmates of all welfare institutions.
Last year, over 80 lakh ration holders were given the Onam kit for free. In its place, this year just 6,07,691 kits will be distributed, of which 5,87,691 are for AAY card holders and 20,000 kits will be for inmates of government’s welfare institutions.
