The government has made a big announcement for the poor and working-class people facing the Corona crisis. The Government of India will provide free food grains under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana for May and June 2021. According to the news agency ANI, five kilograms of free food grains will be made available to about 80 crore beneficiaries of the country. The government of India will spend more than 26 thousand crores on this initiative.

 

The Central Government has made this announcement at a time when strict restrictions have been imposed in many states of the country due to the Corona crisis. The government has taken this step so that these restrictions do not hit the common man. Before this announcement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday discussed with the Chief Ministers of the 10 states most affected by the Corona crisis and reviewed the current situation. PM Modi has held this meeting at a time when the epidemic is getting increasingly frightening.

 

The Central Government (Government of India) says that its top priority has been that the household chulha could not be extinguished during the difficult times of the epidemic. The laborers and the poor do not have to sleep hungry. With this intention, the government started the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana as soon as the lockdown started last year. Under this, the poor were given financial help. Not only this but 80 million people were also given free ration during the lockdown by the central government.
