Coverage under the scheme has since been expanded thrice i.e. during 2003-04,  2004-05  and  2005-06,  covering  additional  50  lakh  households each  time.  Thus,  the  total  coverage  under  AAY  stands  at  2.50  crore families.

Under NFSA,  AAY  families are entitled to receive 35 Kg  of foodgrains per family per month at a highly subsidized rate of Rs.3/2/1- per kg  for  rice,  wheat  and  coarse  grains  respectively.  The  identification  of AAY families, against the State/UT-wise allocated number of households, is the responsibility of the concerned State/UT, as per the criteria/guidelines  issued  by  the  Central  Government.  The  criteria  for identification  of  AAY  families  inter-alia,  include,  households  headed  by widows, terminally ill persons, disabled persons, primitive tribal households,  eligible  BPL  families  of  HIV  positive  persons,  marginal farmers etc. States/UTs wise details of total number of families covered under AAY are at Annexure-I.
