Minister for Food & Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs, Sri Nadendla Manohar said...
31. Consumer Affairs, Food & Civil Supplies Department
The Cabinet approved the proposal to discontinue the current distribution system through Mobile Dispensing Units and restore the earlier system of distributing commodities directly through Fair Price Shops.
According to IVRS feedback from ration cardholders, 25% reported not receiving essential commodities, and 26% reported MDU operators charging excess amounts. Additionally, each MDU covered only three FPS areas in 15-17 days, there were issues of commodity diversion (288 cases registered), and operator shortage (570 vacancies). This decision will save the government Rs. 353.81 crores.
Previously, there was a system of distributing commodities through 29,000 Fair Price Shops. The previous government abolished this system and implemented a system of distributing ration items through MDU vehicles. For this purpose, Rs. 1,860 crores of public funds were misused for the purchase of 9,260 MDU vehicles. Another Rs. 200 crores were spent on the pilot project. However, these vehicles not only failed to provide any benefit to consumers but also led to rice smuggling. About 200 cases were booked against van operators who became participants in rice smuggling. They claim to distribute 93% of rations within three days, but consumers are not receiving goods properly. Each vehicle is being paid Rs. 27,000 per month from the corporation, yet there is no information on 570 vans so far.
Beneficiaries are facing many difficulties due to these vans, which cost Rs. 385 crores. Through Fair Price Shops, consumers could collect items at their convenient time, but they have lost this flexibility with the vehicles. Therefore, from June 1, we will start distributing goods through Fair Price Shops. We will provide door delivery to senior citizens above 65 years and differently-abled persons. This system will stop rice diversion. We will also provide facilities to sell other goods through Fair Price Shops. For those who obtained vehicles through SC, ST, BC, EBC, and other corporations and have paid 10%, these vehicles will be provided free of cost.
Under the Deepam-2 scheme, in the first phase, approximately 99,700 beneficiaries utilized the free gas cylinder facility. As part of the implementation of Deepam-2 Phase Two, about 70 lakh people have already booked for free gas cylinders. In Phase-3, we are taking steps to ensure the gas subsidy amount is directly deposited into beneficiaries' accounts in advance.
The Director of Information & Public Relations, Himanshu Shukla, and Commissioner of Civil Supplies, Saurabh Gaur, participated in this meeting.
