Assam Anna Scheme in Budget 2021
Current CM Himanta Biswa Sarma who presented the Budget 2021-22 as finance minister mentioned “Sir, we are very aware and cognizant of the fact that some of the most concerning data on nutrition come from the tea garden areas. As a progressive and inclusive Government, we have been at the forefront of our efforts to address this gap. Sir to this effect we have introduced the Affordable Nutrition and Nourishment Assistance Yojana (Anna Scheme) which aimed to provide rice at a rate of 1 rupee per kg which was later turned into free rice for all beneficiaries under National Food Security Act.
Our Government has thus gone beyond the mandate of the National Food Security Act stipulated provision of Rs. 3 per kg rate for subsidized rice. It gives me immense pleasure to inform this House that 58,85,289 families have benefitted under this scheme and the total amount of subsidy value under this scheme is Rs. 767.98 crore. This measure has gone a long way to provide substantial basic nutrition to our tea tribe brethren.
