AP Launches Wheat Flour Distribution Pilot

The Andhra Pradesh government has started a trial program to give wheat flour to people with ration cards in all district centers.

They can buy the flour for only Rs.

20 per kilogram.

The state is waiting for 1,800 to 1,850 tonnes of wheat from the central government.

The wheat will be ground using old-fashioned stone mills to keep it healthy.

If the trial works well, the program might be expanded to the whole state.

The government hopes this will help people get better food, while the people hope it will be easy to get the flour.
