MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI R.P.N. SINGH)
(a) to (d) : Yes Madam. Accordingly a proposal to extend the Canteen Stores Department (CSD)
facility to the CAPFs personnel, including serving and retired personnel, was duly considered
in consultation with the Ministry of Defence, but it could not be agreed to because of the
limited resource and infrastructure of the CSD.
On the lines of CSD, the Government has launched a Central Police Canteen System on 18/09/2006
for the CAPFs personnel, including the retired CAPFs personnel and their families. As on date
126 Master Canteens and 1009 unit Central Police Canteens are functioning throughout the country
, including Rajasthan.
