While ensuring transparency in the public distribution system, the UP government has so far provided free food grains to more than 96 per cent of beneficiaries across the state for May-June under PMGKY.

In order to help the migrants, poor and under-priviledged sections to tide over the hardship of Covid times, the government is providing 5 kg food grains free of cost to over 14.71 crore beneficiaries. Under the scheme, each beneficiary is supposed to be given 3 kg of wheat and 2 kg of rice.
