The Union government said on November 3, 2016 that the National Food Security Act (NFSA), which envisages supply of subsidised foodgrains, has been implemented across the country. Kerala and Tamil Nadu have also rolled out the
NFSA from November, 2016. With this, now the Act has been implemented in all the States and Union Territories.
At the current coverage, the monthly allocation of foodgrains to States and UTs under the Act is about 45.5 lakh tonnes, with a subsidy implication of about
Z 11726 crore per month or about Z 140700 crore per year.
As a result, 81.34 crore persons will get wheat at Z 2 per kg and rice at Z 3 per kg. Only 11 States had been implementing the NFSA when the NDA came to power. NFSA being an important initiative for ensuring food security, now it is being implemented in all the States and Union Territories.
