The central government is planning a major crackdown on people who shouldn’t have ration cards. They’re also going to review the LPG subsidy and free ration program to make sure it goes to the right people.
Evaluating Huge Subsidy Schemes
The government is currently checking out its biggest subsidy schemes, which cost around Rs 4 lakh crore. These include the National Food Security Act (NFSA) and LPG subsidies. Niti Aayog, a government organization, is responsible for this evaluation.
Making Sure Money Is Spent Wisely
The goal is to review these massive subsidy schemes to spend money more wisely. They want to stop any wastage and ensure that the benefits reach the right people. This might come as a shock to those who’ve been dishonest to get ration and LPG subsidies.Seeking Expert Evaluation
Seeking Expert Evaluation
A department connected to Niti Aayog called the Office of Development Monitoring and Evaluation is looking for proposals to assess these programs. They’ll spend about Rs 4,00,000 crores on this every year. Despite this spending, India still faces challenges in ensuring food security and good nutrition. In fact, India has around 30% of the world’s hungry population.
