PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana
Free foodgrain for ration-card families under the food security law
This central scheme provides free foodgrain every month to families covered by the National Food Security Act, through fair price shops. It started during the Covid-19 period and has been extended several times. Families need a valid ration card, mainly Antyodaya and priority households. In Karnataka it works alongside Anna Bhagya. Quantities and the end date are set by the Centre, so ask at your fair price shop for the current entitlement.
Rules, amounts and dates can change. Confirm the details on the official portal or at your taluk office before you apply.
