Ration shops in Kerala are set for a makeover. The State government has embarked on a project to equip the PDS network with more facilities and technological tools to provide better services and enlarge the bouquet of products.
As many as 108 ration shops will undergo the transformation in the first phase of the K-Store project to be inaugurated by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Thrissur on Thursday.
Food and Civil Supplies minister G.R.Anil said the K-Stores would offer bank transactions up to ₹10,000, utility payments for water and electricity, small LPG cylinders of 5 kg and Sabari and Milma products. More services would be offered at a later stage.
