“Our goal is to provide basic necessities to every household in need. By 2025, we aim to make free food grains accessible to over 2.5 crore people in Assam,” said Sarma.
The distribution program will focus on ensuring that food grains reach remote areas and marginalized communities. In addition, the government is working on streamlining its public distribution system to prevent any misuse of the scheme.
This initiative aligns with Assam’s broader strategy to eradicate hunger, improve living conditions for underprivileged citizens, and boost overall social welfare in the state. As the program rolls out, the government will monitor its impact and adjust as necessary to meet its ambitious 2025 target.
