Government Rejects Doorstep Delivery of Food Grains for Vulnerable Groups

Government Rejects Doorstep Delivery of Food Grains for Vulnerable Groups

The government won't bring food to the homes of elderly or disabled people who get food through the PDS.

This is because the current rules don't allow it.

Some groups wanted easier access to food for these people.

The government explained that the rules say the states give food to shops, but people have to pick it up.

The government also stated there are no plans to change this rule or make special provisions for these vulnerable groups, even though many people get free food grains through other programs.
