As per NFSA the coverage for Madhya Pradesh is about 5.46 Crore persons according  to  Census  2011.  As  per  the  information  of  State  Government  of Madhya Pradesh, 77,775 families under below poverty line are still remaining to  get  food  subsidies  under  the  scheme  and  addition/  deletion  in  BPL category is a continuous process.
