opposition, the government on Wednesday decided to issue an ordinance
to give nation's two-third population the right to get 5 kgs of
foodgrains every month at highly subsidised rates of Rs1-3 per kg.
The Food Security programme when implemented will be the biggest in the world with the government spending estimated at Rs125,000 crore annually on supply of about 62 million tonnes of rice, wheat and coarse cereals to 67% of the population.
The Cabinet, which had last month deferred a decision on the issue following differences within, approved promulgation of an ordinance to implement the Food Security Bill.
"The Food Security Ordinance was unanimously approved by the Cabinet. It will now go to the Rashtrapati Bhavan for its assent," Food Minister K V Thomas told reporters here.
