The first quiz will be on the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) under Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.

Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PM-GKAY) is a pro-poor package intended to reduce the challenges encountered by the poor as a result of disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The immediate goal was to ensure that no poor or vulnerable person or household went hungry. Under the scheme, all National Food Security Act (NFSA) beneficiaries are entitled to 5 kgs of free food grain every month. This is over and above the highly subsidised food grains available to NFSA beneficiaries. 

 All NFSA beneficiaries (Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY) and Priority Householders (PHH) identified by State/UT governments i.e. around 80 Crore beneficiaries are covered under PM-GKAY. They are automatically covered and can avail the free food grains from Fair Price Shops using their existing NFSA ration cards.

No new ration card or registration is required. Toll-Free helpline number 1967 has been set up to redress beneficiaries’ complaints and grievances related to the Public Distribution System. 

 Android based Mobile Application ‘Mera Ration’ (https://tinyurl.com/fp2tmd97) can be used by beneficiaries to view their NFSA as well as PM-GKAY food grain allotment and balance quota. The facility is currently available for those beneficiaries who are successfully verified in the central ration card repository.

The app is currently available in 13 languages viz. Assamese, English, Hindi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Urdu, Gujarati, Marathi and Bangla, and can be downloaded freely from the Google Play Store for Android mobiles. The Annavitran Portal (annavitran.nic.in) has a dashboard for monitoring the distribution of PM-GKAY Foodgrains.
