Answer 2

Hi friend ,

Antodaya Anna Yogana was launched in December 2000. Under the scheme one crore of the poorest among the BPL families covered under the targeted public distribution system were identified. Poor families were identified by the respective state rural development deparments through the Below Poverty line survey . Twenty five kilograms of foodgrains were made available to each eligible family at a highly subsidised rate of Rs.2 per kg for wheat and Rs. 3 per kg for rice. This quantity has been enhanced from 25 to 35 KGS with effect from April 2002. This scheme has been further expanded twice by additional 50 lakh BPL families in June 2003 and in August 2004 . With this increase ,2 crore of the families have been covered under the Antodaya Anna Yojana .
