Plan to link FP shops with anganwadi centres
- SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
The district administration is planning to link fair price shops with anganwadi centres to supply provisions from December.
This would be followed by seeding of Aadhaar cards of respective workers and ayahs. Once the seeding is completed, the Anganwadi centres or ayahs would have to get their provisions from respective fair price shops like residents.
The project was explained to Civil Supplies Commissioner Jayalakshmi by Krishna Collector Babu A during a video conference here on Thursday.
Supply of provisions through EPOS has helped in controlling irregularities in fair price shops.
At present, the Anganwadi centres were being supplied rice through fair price shops and once the project takes off, supply of red gram and palm oil would also commence through fair price shops, he said.
The Anganwadi centres are getting red gram and palm oil through District Cooperative Marketing Society and super bazaars and from December onwards, rice, red gram, palm oil would be supplied through EPOS at fair price shops, according to a press release.
This will be followed by seeding of Aadhaar cards of respective workers and ayahs
