After the Union Cabinet extended the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) for another five years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that his government is committed to ensuring that no one goes hungry. Don’t sleep.
The government has extended the PMGKAY scheme for another five years to provide five kilograms of free food grains per month to 81.35 crore poor, which will cost the exchequer about Rs 11.80 lakh crore.
