Bihar to launch grain ATMs in Patna

The Bihar government is going to start something called grain ATMs in Patna.

These are special machines that give out rice and wheat to people who need them.

You can get up to 50 kg of grain in just five minutes.

The machines use very little electricity and can even run on solar power.

To use them, you show your Aadhaar card or another ID, pick what you need, and the machine gives you the grains.

The first grain ATM in India was set up in Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, in August 2024.

Now, Patna will have three of these machines as part of a pilot project by the Central government.
