(a)&(b): As a part of Economic Response to COVID-19, Govt of India has implemented additional nation-wide schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojna (PMGKAY) and Atma Nirbhar Bharat Scheme(ANBS).
Under PMGKAY, Govt of India has made allocation of foodgrains @ 5 kg per person per month free of cost for around 80 crore beneficiaries of all the 36 States/UTs covered under National Food Security Act (NFSA) (Antyodaya Anna Yojana(AAY) & Priority Households(PHH)) including those covered under Direct Benefit Transfer(DBT) for a period of 8 months i.e April-November, 2020 and again similarly during the period May -November, 2021.

During the year, 2020, about 322 Lakh Metric Tons (LMT) of food-grains and during the year 2021, about 278 LMT foodgrains have been allocated free of cost under PMGKAY scheme to approximately 80 Crore NFSA beneficiaries. State/UT-wise details of foodgrains allocated, lifted and distributed under PMGKAY during the year 2020 and 2021 are at Annexure-I(i&ii).
In addition to foodgrains, during the year 2020, under PMGKAY- pulses have also been provided @ 1kg per household per month for 8 months i.e April to November, 2020 free of cost to all beneficiaries under NFSA covering 19.4 crore households. During the period April-June, 2020 an adjusted allocation of about 5.65 LMT pulses have been made in comparison to 5.82 LMT pulses allotted originally for 3 months and during the period July-November, 2020 an adjusted allocation of about 8.82 LMT whole chana have been made in comparison to 9.38 LMT of whole chana allotted originally for 5 months. State/UT-wise details of pulses/whole chana allocated under PMGKAY are at Annexure-II(i&ii).
Also, under ANBS, this Department made allocation of about total 8 LMT of additional free of cost food-grain covering all the States/UTs for migrants/stranded migrants, who are neither covered under NFSA nor State Scheme PDS Cards, @ 5 kg per person per month free of cost for a period of two months (May & June, 2020). State/UT-wise details of foodgrains allocated under ANBS are at Annexure-III.
In addition to foodgrains, about 0.27 LMT whole chana has been allocated under ANBS for the period May-June, 2020. State/UT-wise details of whole chana allocated under ANBS are at Annexure-IV.
The allocation of free foodgrains, pulses/whole chana under PMGKAY and ANBS was in addition to normal allocation done under the NFSA.
(c): In addition to PMGKAY and ANBS, Govt of India has also allocated foodgrains under Open Market Sale Scheme(Domestic)(OMSS(D)). Under (OMSS(D), foodgrains have been allocated for all the beneficiaries to whom ration cards have been issued by the State Governments under their own scheme but who are not covered under NFSA, @ 5 kg per person per month for distribution to such beneficiaries for three months from April to June, 2020 at Rs. 21/- per Kg. wheat and Rs. 22/- per Kg. rice. GoI had directed FCI to make available the required quantity of foodgrains, as per the demands of the States/UTs, from Central Pool Stocks for distribution to such person holding valid cards issued by the State/UT Govts. There is no upper limit for allocation of foodgrain to such organisations from any FCI depot. This scheme has been extended beyond May 2021.
Additional quantities of 9.66 LMT foodgrains during 2020-21 and quantity of 2.79 LMT foodgrains so far during the year 2021-22 have been released under Open Market Sale Scheme(OMSS) as per the demands of the States/UTs, from Central Pool Stocks for meeting additional requirements of the State/UT Govts, as per their locally assessed requirements.
