Ambitious Food Security Programme

Delhi government has added 4,15,422 persons for providing food security benefits under ambitious Food Security Programme.

The Congress-led UPA government's ambitious welfare programme, the national food security scheme, will get a new name soon. It is likely to be called the Indira Amma Food Security.

Distribution of food grains under the ambitious Food Security Programme formally began in the national capital today with Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit offering the entitlement to identified beneficiaries in several areas.

In a speech on the youth and education, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi could not resist bringing up the UPA government's ambitious food security programme today. The Centre, he said, was under the impression that merely bringing in the Bill would lead to food reaching the needy.

Delhi is all set to become the first state in the country to roll out the food security scheme. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Monday said that the ambitious programme will be launched on August 20, the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

A lawyer has challenged the contentious Food Security Ordinance in the Supreme Court, terming it as "illegal". The Centre's ambitious welfare programme is now a law after receiving President Pranab Mukherjee's assent on Friday.

The National Food Security Bill, UPA government's ambitious social welfare programme, is awaiting its passage in Parliament. It was tabled in the Lok Sabha yesterday amid uproar created by the Opposition over allegations of corruption in the UPA government.

While the Congress is busy projecting its commitment to the aam aadmi (common man) through schemes like direct cash transfer for the poor, its own chief minister Sheila Dikshit has stoked a controversy by saying Rs. 600 is enough to support a family of five.
