## A N S W E R MINISTER OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

## (SHRI RAM  VILAS PASWAN)

(a) to (c):   In order to make the Targeted Public Distribution System (TPDS) more  focused  and  targeted  at  the  poorest  of  the  poor,  Antyodaya  Anna Yojana  (AAY) was  launched  in December,  2000  in  all States/Union Territories  (UTs)  for  one  crore  families  to  be  identified  from  the  Below Poverty  Line  (BPL)  families.  Coverage  under  this  scheme  has  been expanded  thrice  since  then  i.e.  during  2003-04,  2004-05  and  2005-06 covering additional 50 lakh households each time. Thus the total coverage under AAY was raised to 2.50 crore AAY families. The identification of AAY families within the target of AAY families allocated to each State/UT is the responsibility  of  concerned  State/UT  Government.  Against  the  accepted number of  2.50  crore  AAY  families  given  to  State/UT  Governments,  upto June, 2015 they have reported issuance of AAY ration cards to about 2.42 crore AAY families. Allocation of foodgrains (rice & wheat) to these AAY families  are  made  @  35  kg  per  family  per  month  at  a  highly  subsidized Central Issue Price (CIP) of Rs.2 per kg for wheat and Rs.3 per kg for rice.

(d):    Targeted  Public  Distribution  System  (TPDS)  is  operated  under  the joint  responsibility  of  Central  Government  and  State/Union  Territory  (UT) Governments.  The  Central  Government  is  responsible  for  procurement, allocation and transportation of foodgrains upto the designated depots of Food Corporation  of  India.  The  operational  responsibilities  for  lifting  and distributing the allocated foodgrains within the States/UTs and supervision over  distribution  of  allocated  foodgrains  to  eligible  card  holders  through the Fair Price Shops (FPSs) are of the State/UT Governments.  The details of  allocations,  offtake  of  foodgrains  (rice  &  wheat)  made  during  the  last three years and the current year are at Annex.

(e) to (f): No, Madam.
