(a) and (b): Statement showing  state-wise Allocation of  foodgrains (Wheat and Rice) under NFSA and Tide-Over for the  last  two  years and current year i.e 2021-22 to 2023-24 is placed at Annexure-IA, IB and IC.

(c) to (f): Millets,  which  are  commonly  known  as  Nutri-  Cereals, are already a  part  of  Public Distribution System (PDS). Nutri-Cereals are allocated in terms of National Food Security Act, 2013. The allocation of approved quantity of Nutri-Cereals for distribution under PDS is made by this Department  in  lieu  of  equal  quantity of  wheat/rice, while  ensuring that the overall quantity of rice, wheat and Nutri-Cereals has to be within the upper ceiling fixed in respect of each State/UT under NFSA. From 1;t January2023 the  aforesaid  allocation  is  being  made free  of  cost  for one year under  PMGKAY.

The detail of  millets/coarse grains  allocation under  NFSA from 2021-22 to till  date is attached at Annexure-II

Under NFSA, 2013 the States/UTs are being allocated  around 46.07 LMT of food grains per month (around 552.80 LMT per annum). At present, against the coverage limit  of 81.35 crore beneficiaries under NFSA, State Governments have identified 80.24 crore beneficiaries at present· Addition and deletion of  beneficiaries by  the  States/UTs as  per requirements, is  a  continuous process.  On  identification of  remaining beneficiaries under NFSA, allocation of foodgrainsmay be revised-
