The government of Tamil Nadu has proposed to allocate Rs 4,900 crore towards food subsidy in 2013-14, with the major chunk going towards rice distribution programmes. For ration card-holders and those covered under Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY), the government has proposed allocating Rs 3,173.11 crore towards distribution of rice at no cost.
Besides, the government has earmarked Rs 1,006 crore for Special Public Distribution System out of the total Rs 4,900 crore food subsidy, wherein essential commodities like dhal and edible oil are supplied at subsidized rates. The government has decided to revise the working schedule of fair-price shops in the state as more households have working couples. Accordingly, the shops would now function on first and second Sundays and remain closed on first and second Fridays. The shops previously remained closed on all Sundays.
Further, the government is implementing bio-metric based ration card scheme in Pudukottai district, which will be expanded to Ariyalur, Karur, Tiruchirappalli, Perambalur, Cuddalore and Tiruvarur districts.
