Let us tell you that apart from this, there is talk of including many other things in it. The government has taken this decision to improve the health of the people and increase the level of nutrition in their food. This will also improve the quality of life of the people.

So that people do not face any problem. Also, all the eligible people should continue to get the benefits of the scheme.
80 crore beneficiaries
Let us tell you that during the lockdown, the government had started the poverty alleviation scheme. Because at that time it became difficult for people to earn even two square meals a day. At present, more than 80 crore people are getting free ration under the scheme. Not only this, many people are also taking advantage of such schemes. Who don’t really deserve it? The government has extended the scheme for five years.
You will also get benefit from these facilities
Let us tell you that now only ration will not be available from the ration shop. In fact, the idea of developing ration shops in the village on the lines of public convenience centers is also underway. This means that now all the facilities including correction in Aadhaar card, original residence, caste certificate will be available at these shops only. So that people do not have to go to the city for all these works. However, it is being told that this concept is yet to be implemented in some districts of Uttar Pradesh. After that the scheme will be expanded.
